  If you are installing Fedora system with more than one disk, you may want to manually specify where the bootloader should be installed. Click the `Full disk summary and bootloader` link at the bottom of the `Installation Destination` screen. The `Selected Disks` dialog will appear. The bootloader will be installed on the device of your choice, or on a UEFI system, the `EFI system partition` will be created on that device during guided partitioning.

  Perform an initial system update::  If you installed {PRODUCT} from a full installation ISO image (such as the Workstation live image or full Server DVD), it is recommended to perform an initial system update, because your installation media likely contained older versions of software packages. During the initial update, all installed packages are updated to their latest available versions. Updates to packages provide security fixes, bug fixes and enhancements.

  Install driver updates::  Usually, drivers for system devices are already supported in the kernel provided by Red{nbsp}Hat Enterprise{nbsp}Linux. However, occasionally, support for devices that have been released recently could be missing. In these cases, a driver update enabling your device may be available.

  +

- Devices necessary to complete the installation can have driver updates provided before the installation begins. If a device is missing a driver, but it is not essential during the installation, it is recommended to wait until after the installation completes, and install additional drivers afterwards. For instructions on installing and enabling additional drivers on the installed system using [application]*RPM* and [application]*DNF*, see the [citetitle]_{PRODUCT} System Administrator's Guide_, available at link:++https://docs.fedoraproject.org/++[].

  Configure additional repositories::  New software is installed from _package repositories_. Package repositories are organized sets of software and metadata that can be accessed by the [application]*DNF* package manager. By default, several update repositories provided by {PRODUCT} are configured automatically and you can install updates and additional software from those. However, if you want to set up additional repositories, for example ones containing your own software, some extra steps are needed.

- Install additional packages::  You can control which packages will be installed by selecting an environment in the `Software Selection` dialog in the graphical installation (see xref:install/Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-software-selection[Software Selection]). This dialog does not provide a way to choose individual packages, only predefined sets. However, you can use the [application]*DNF* package manager to install additional packages after the installation.
