SUMMARY
=======
If you would like to free up disk space in your root directory, you can move the
OLD_DOS directory to another drive or to a floppy disk(s), and later, you can
restore your previous version of MS-DOS by copying the directory back and using
UNINSTALL.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The procedure is as follows:
1. Move the OLD_DOS directory by doing the following:
a. Copy or back up the OLD_DOS.X directory and its files to another drive or
to a floppy disk(s). If copying to floppy disk(s), you may need more than
one disk, depending on the OLD_DOS directory size and the floppy disk
type. Make sure to note the name of the directory; you will need to know
this when uninstalling.

2. Uninstall to a previous DOS version by doing the following:
a. Copy or restore the OLD_DOS.X directory and its files to the root
directory of the boot drive, making sure to name the directory the same as
