BOOTMGR and new Linux installation (Users)
For many years I use the BOOTMGR boot manager from this site on some of my computers.
Now I will speak about the modern one with Win10 + FreeDOS.
So, in this machine I have one physical hard disk partitioned into three partitions - Win10, FreeDOS and NTFS partiotion, now without OS (in the past I tried to install WinXP but without success)
The BootMGR is configured to let me choose from these 3 partitions.
Of course, if I select the partition without OS it will not boot to anything.
Now I would like to install in this partition some Linux. (Ubuntu?, something else?)
I have been never using Linux so it is a reason why I uncertain now.
Do I have to be careful about something during the Linux instalation?
What about MBR? Is here some danger that Linux installer will overwrite the MBR with BootMGR?
Of course, I want to keep the possibility to boot Win10 and FreeDOS.
