My host has fantastico currently installed on it and I was wondering if I like install one of fantasticos scripts does it go like on my main page or a seperate page like if I wanted a poll on my index or a survey or something like that. Or does it create a new page and I have to link to it?

You have the option of installing it in your root directory(domain.com) or another directory(domain.com/otherdir/)

But if I install it to the root directory wont it erase all that is on it or where will it know where to go?

Fantastico does not let you install a script into the root folder. It always asks for a folder to be created during the install. Also you will have to link your current site to the new script, since it is in a different folder with all it's own php files
ie http://www.yourdomain.com/fantastico_script
Hope this helps a little.
Peace

So like I couldnt have it off to the left or right of my main page? Well thats stupid, I want it on my main page located where I want it! lol okay...

You could you the <iframe> tag if you want to add it to your current home page.
Peace

Depending on what script you're adding, you can just edit the index.php file and add your site to it.
