I take it what you meant to say was "Yes, you have the option of not installing a boot loader." What you wrote implies it is forbidden to install a boot loader.
Contemplate on the difference between:
Yes, you can not install a boot loader.
Yes, you cannot install a boot loader.

Sorry, but that's just how English works.
Apologies not needed.
Thanks. I generally refrain from criticizing people's language, given how many people are not native English speakers, but I did it this time because I didn't want there to be confusion about the actual information conveyed.
I'll learn to live with it.
cheers
I'm cheery... Randal Schulz
