Gentlemen,

I have already booted up FBSD but have not proceeded with the installation
for one simple reason:  I am not perfectly clear about the boot manager.
My system is prresently set up to boot either WLindows 95 or Windows NT.  I
choose when the screen comes up or it defaults to NT.  I have not bothered
to install DOS.
My fear is that if I install FBSD on a free partition (disk is 6.4 Gb
partitioned in FAT disks of 500 Mb and one NTFS of 3 Gb) the FBSD boot
manager will overwrite the C: (FAT) boot sector and I will have to
reinstall the two Windows systems.  Are my fears justified?
Could you please clarify?
Thank you in advance,

Philip Jourdan
