  Basically, proceed as shown for netboot above, but set LBX2GO_IMAGETYPE to ''iso-hybrid'' (recommended) or ''iso''. 
  Do **not** select hdd or tar - even though we are creating a local storage media installation.
  
-   - On your local media, create the following folders: ''/boot/X2Go-live1'', ''/boot/X2Go-live2'', ''/boot/X2Go-live-download''.
+   - On your local storage media, create the following folders: ''/boot/X2Go-live1'', ''/boot/X2Go-live2'',
''/boot/X2Go-live-download''.
    - If you have serious space constraints, you can limit yourself to ''/boot/X2Go-live1'', but you will be unable to use the autoupdater then.
    - Copy ''./x2go-tce-vmlinuz'', ''./x2go-tce-initrd.img'', and ''./x2go-tce-squashfs-only.iso'' to ''/boot/X2Go-live1'' (and to ''/boot/X2Go-live2'', if present).
-   - Install a boot loader:
-     * Create a folder ''/boot/grub'' and install grub-legacy into it (assuming an ext* file system) OR 
-     * install GRLDR and GRLDR.mbr from GRUB4DOS into C:\ (assuming an NTFS file system) AND make the appropriate changes to activate it (edit boot.ini on XP systems, use bcdedit.exe on Vista and newer) OR
-     * install syslinux (should work with FAT* as well as ext*)

+ ==== Installing a boot loader ==== 
+ The next step is to install a boot loader.  Currently, there are three choices,
GRUB-legacy, syslinux, and GRUB4DOS.
+   * Use GRUB-legacy for ext* file systems.
+   * Use syslinux when installing on FAT* file systems.  Should work with ext* file systems as well, if you don't want GRUB-legacy. 
+   * Use GRUB4DOS when dealing with an NTFS file system (say, you're trying to turn an existing Windows XP installation into a ThinClient).
+ 
+ === Installing GRUB-legacy ===
+     * Create a folder ''(mountpath)/boot/grub'' 
+     * install grub-legacy into it:
+       * ''apt-get -y install grub-legacy'' # note this will remove grub2 from your system if it is installed, but will not cause any change to your boot sequence 
+       * ''grub-install --recheck --root-directory=(mountpath) /dev/targetdevice'' #entire device, not partition
+       * check, and, if required, edit the contents of ''(mountpath)/boot/grub/device.map''
+       * ''grub-install --root-directory=(mountpath) /dev/targetdevice'' #entire device, not partition
+       * optional: ''apt-get -y install
grub2'' # reinstall grub2 if that is what you were using before
+       * create a boot loader configuration file using the following template:
  <file - menu.lst>
  # sample grub-legacy menu.lst for booting X2Go-TCE from local media
- # Depending on your setup, this goes either into C:\menu.lst or C:\boot\grub\menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst).
+ # Depending on your setup, this goes either into C:\menu.lst or C:\boot\grub\menu.lst, or /boot/grub/menu.lst.
  # C:\menu.lst is recommended for NTFS, /boot/grub/menu.lst for ext*. 
  # Make sure you do not have menu.lst files at both locations.
