With such ominous messages, I readily assume everything will be wiped/deleted. As such, I just (temporarily) remove/disconnect all physical hard drives. FreeDOS (and all operating system) installers should briefly print exactly what actions will be deleted and/or performed. Jerome's reply states the hierarchy of what actions FreeDOS installer performs. Hopefully the next FreeDOS version release fixes this ominous message?
