Two free clues:

1) When replying to Usenet postings, one trims quotes and places answers below questions. 2) In English, "the" is what's called a definite article. It means you are referring to one exact, specific, particular individual thing. Which particular individual thing is determined by the context in which the sentence appears.

Let's look at this example:

I'm running Mandrake 10.0 and using the Grub bootloader. Below is a link where you'll find the sources for the bootloader.

In the second sentence "the bootloader" refers to one particular bootloader, and we know which bootloader (Grub) based on the context provided by the first sentance.

If you are referring non-specifically to any one of a general class of things, use the indefinite article "a":

Where do I find the source code for a bootloader?

English lesson aside, here's where you can find the sources to Grub:
