- Yep. This is the nature of how DualBoot works. All it does is back
- up the DOS system files on installation and install on top of it.
- Then, when you do a BOOT/DOS or BOOT/OS2 command, the program copies
- the proper system files (OS/2's or DOS's) onto the boot sector and
- related space and boots.
