       <package>Trusted Boot (tboot)</package> is an open source, pre- kernel/Virtual Machine Manager module that uses Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) to perform a measured and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM. It checks to make sure system files haven't been tampered with before letting the system boot, offering much greater protection against rootkits and other types of malware that try to cover their tracks by editing those files. <emphasis>Trusted Boot</emphasis> can be enabled at install, and will fall back to a normal boot if the hardware doesn't support it.

+      Starting in Fedora 16, on non-EFI x86 (32 and 64 bit) systems,
+      anaconda will default to creating GPT disklabels (partition
+      tables) instead of MSDOS disklabels. On these systems, when
+      booting from a GPT-labelled disk, it is strongly recommended
+      (not necessarily required in all cases, depending on the
+      system's BIOS/firmware) to create a small (1MiB) BIOS boot
+      partition. This partition will be used by the bootloader (GRUB2)
+      for storage.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Automatic partitioning will create the partition when
+      appropriate, but users who choose custom partitioning will have
+      to create this partition for themselves.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      This BIOS boot partition is only necessary on non-EFI x86
+      systems whose boot device is a GPT-labelled disk.
