The thing I wanted to understand was how it was going to "mess up the fedora linux install"? Which was what I was reacting to. If I realized that needing to reinstall the boot loader was all that was meant by messing up an linux installation, I wouldn't have asked. Looking back I'm thinking I expressed my question poorly.
