SUMMARY
=======
Although you don't have the option to uninstall when you install Microsoft
MS-DOS 6.x Upgrade on a system with a disk-compression program (such as
Stacker), Setup still creates an OLD_DOS.x directory.
Because you cannot uninstall, it is safe to delete the OLD_DOS.x directory using
DELOLDOS.EXE.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Setup uses the OLD_DOS.x directory to create temporary CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files when it modifies them. Setup does not copy any other MS-DOS
files to this directory when you install MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Upgrade over a
disk-compression program.
Additional query words: 6.22 6.00 6.20
