It makes your selections, well, the default for the computer.

Thanks for the explanation, but I still do not understand the concept of making the settings default for the computer.

Could you explain, in more detail, what default in this case means/does?Fedora17.GNOME@Dell_Latitude_E6410

The options you select are used for each reboot. What ever options you select, will be the new default, for all users I believe.
