SYMPTOM

Needing to install DR DOS 6 with Stacker already installed.

ISSUE/PROBLEM

Installing DR DOS to a computer that has an existing Stacker disk.

SOLUTION

For these examples of a manual installation the original boot partition is
assumed to be lettered C:.  If the boot partition is labeled other than
C:, please replace "C:" in the examples below with the drive letter
representing the boot partition.

BACKUP THE HARD DISK BEFORE TRYING THE FOLLOWING.  ALSO, have a copy of
the present operating system's CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT handy for
reference.  A full understanding of the STACKER 2.0 disk compression
utility is recommended before attempting the following steps.  It is also
recommended that the security feature of DR DOS not be installed until the
user is sure that DR DOS and Stacker are working properly after
installation.


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using DISKCOPY, make a backup of the DR DOS 6.0 STARTUP diskette.

2. Reboot with the DR DOS backup STARTUP diskette.  Eventually the drive
will stop turning at the first installation screen.

3. Break out of the installation by pressing <F10> and choosing "Exit to
DR DOS".

4. From the A: prompt type EDITOR CONFIG.SYS to edit the CONFIG.SYS on
this backup diskette.
