TITLE :Installation programs and Multi-Config
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Many application installation programs modify the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Most installation programs which modify the
CONFIG.SYS file either adding lines at the top or at the bottom of the
file.
If you have a [COMMON] block at the end of your CONFIG.SYS file, you
shouldn't have any trouble with the programs that add lines at the
bottom of the file.
The most common problem occurs when installation programs update
a specific driver in the CONFIG.SYS file and there are multiple
instances of that driver. Many installation programs only update the
first (or last) occurrence of the driver. If you avoid multiple
occurrences of device drivers in CONFIG.SYS by using a [COMMON]
section, you will probably never experience a problem.
