The user might have run the installer in advanced mode, where they
have more control. Or they could be installing FreeDOS in a virtual
machine (in which case, it's isolated from the operating system). Both
would result in not overwriting your primary OS.

Or they could intend to overwrite everything (re-install the system)
but that's already mentioned as "If this is not what you intend.."
