Ok I have installed DOS 6.22 and there is not much space left on my C: drive. Its only an old 286 PC and I want to fit windows on it aswell. It will fit but i need to free up some room. Out of all the files from 6.22, which files do i need and what files can i delete? Here is a list of all 6.22 DOS files, pleasse tell me which ones i don't need and can delete. I mostly use my computer for games so i shouldn't really need that much. I do compress my disks so i defitenely need drvspace of course. Well please e-mail me and tell me which can be deleted which won't be suitable for my computer and a description why just in case. Thanx!!!

AHHHHHHHH!!!! If you can bearly install dos 6.22, and you're using a 286, i DO NOT recommend installing *any* version of windows. i dunno if it'll even run, but here are the files *I THINK* you could delete; COUNTRY.SYS COUNTRY.TXT DEBUG.EXE KEYB.COM KEYBOARD.SYS NLSFUNC.EXE README.TXT NETWORKS.TXT QBASIC.EXE REPLACE.EXE RESTORE.EXE XCOPY.EXE EGA.CPI EGA2.CPI EGA3.CPI ISO.CPI KEYBRD2.SYS MSCDEX.EXE ANSI.SYS APPEND.EXE CHKSTATE.SYS BBLWIN.HLP DISKCOMP.COM DISPLAY.SYS DOSHELP.HLP MSD.EXE VFINTD.386 DRIVER.SYS DRIVER.SYS FASTHELP.EXE FASTOPEN.EXE GRAPHICS.COM GRAPHICS.PRO HELP.COM HELP.HLP LOADFIX.COM MEMMAKER.EXE MEMMAKER.HLP MEMMAKER.INF MONUMB.386 MSBACKUP.EXE MSBCONFG.OVL MSTOOLS.DLL MWBACKR.DLL POWER.EXE PRINT.EXE QBASIC.HLP SIZER.EXE SMARTMON.EXE SMARTMON.HLP SORT.EXE SUBST.EXE TREE.COM MSBACKUP.HLP MSBACKUP.OVL MSAV.EXE MSAV.HLP MSAVHELP.OVL MSAVIRUS.LST MSBACKDB.OVL MSBACKFB.OVL MSBACKDR.OVL MSBACKFR.OVL MWAV.EXE MWAVABAI.DLL MWAVDLG.DLL MWAVDOSL.DLL MWAVDRVL.DLL MWAVMGR.DLL MWAVSCAN.DLL MWAVSOS.DLL MWAVTSR.EXE MWBACKF.DLL MWBACKUP.EXE MWBACKUP.EXE MWBACKUP.HLP MWGRAFIC.DLL MWUNDEL.EXE MWUNDEL.HLP VSAFE.COM

Stop and think here! Do NOT delete ANY MS-DOS File! Yet.. The only files you need are the ones that are listed in your Autoexec.Bat & Config.Sys files. The rest (and Worms list is about right) you should copy them onto 2 or 3 Floppy Disks for possible future use. If you delete them, and then deside that you need say Print.exe you would then need to locate and expand that file for use. A little work now may save some later! DRVSPACE.EXE DRVSPACE.HLP DRVSPACE.INF DRVSPACE.SYS DRVSPACE.BIN Are needed to run DriveSpace You may have problems installing Windows 3.1 onto a 286 anyway. How much memory do you have? 3.1 needs a minimum of 4MBs of RAM for enhansed mode or 2MBs for Standard Mode.

Hey there, Windows 3.1 works well on my 286 with 1 meg RAM. Of course, Windows 3.0 kicks ass on my 286 with 1 meg RAM.

It says i have bout 16mb all up and thats on a compressed drive. Um i think its only estimated ratio because say if ii put on 1mb program, it drops by about 2-3 MB so my guess is bout 10MB. Windows 3.1 will work i had it on before but i just need to free up memory. I deleted most windows stuff that i don't need now i'm looking through the dos stuff. Ok i am using POWER.EXE, DEBUG.exe so i won't delete those. Um don't you need QBASIC.exe to edit batch files because if u do, i defitenely need that! Don't u need KEYBRD2.SYS??? i see no 1 but don't u need 2 also?? Also what do EGA.CPI do, don't u need those also?? Just checking before i delete. Oh i made a backup of my dos disks before but now they didn't open up for some reason so i had to download it again so i am making sure what files to delete in case i stuff it up, thanx!
