SUMMARY
With MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade or MS-DOS 6.22 Step-Up, you can create a single startup floppy disk for drive A by using the /F parameter. The contents of this disk vary based on the destination disk capacity.
NOTE: MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade and MS-DOS 6.22 Step-Up do not have the ability to install the complete operating system (with all programs) to floppy disks.
