- Sure you can install MSDOS 5.0 upgrade from B:.
- The one you are talking about (plain MSDOS 5.0, not "upgrade") can't be
- installed from B:. The plain MSDOS 5.0 is for users who don't have any OS
- and I think it's more expensive than "upgrade". It needs to boot but still
- I think it should be able to install from B:....
- As for OS/2 2.0 "upgrade" (emphasizing on "upgrade"), it should also be able
- to install from B:....
