- If you can read the NT CD-ROM from DOS, you can install NT using the
- DOS2NT batch method. This is what I had to do, and it worked just as
- adverstised in the installation manual. It automatically sets up for
- Flexboot between DOS and NT and creates two directory trees, WINNT and
- MSTOOLS, that contain NT and the SDK respectively.
