Reply: (edit) You want to install DOS 6.22 from a CD-Rom? MS-DOS 6.22 came on three floppy disks plus a supplemental disk. It was not large enough to justify a CD-ROM, but you could copy all three floppies to a directory and put the directory on a CD-ROM. It would then install. I install Windows 3.11 that way.

Reply: (edit)Then it asks you for to insert DISK 1 all the time as it looks for the disk label! Followed by DISK 2 & 3 Does burning onto a CD/R get round this problem? MS-DOS 6.22 did not come with a supplimental disk by the way. you had to send for it or download it. ANON

Reply: (edit)ANON, Some distributions of MS DOS 6.22 did in fact come with the supplemental disk out of the box. Mine did anyway. -Michael

Reply: (edit)If I recall correctly, the CD-R just has to be labeled Disk 1 and the contents of all the disks are place in the root of the CD. I may be off on that as the method I use is a DOS boot block on the CD-R and an Autorun.inf that points to a preconfigured install of DOS Navigator. You can configure DN-DOS to remove the read-only attributes from files copied from a CD to hard drive. I have Sys.com in the root of the CD-R, so I type SYS C: in the DOS Prompt at the bottom the DN-DOS window and then open one of the directories that contain a pre-configured install of DOS 6.22 and copy the contents of the directory to C:, reboot and done. I have 6 different DOS installs on the CD-R, complete with installed programs. Pretty darned easy.
