Good. Keep working to trim this down. E.g., why not extract from the CD onto a floppy within one's old OS. Maybe use of the CD is not needed in the installation of MS-DOS9.But one would not have to run Windows even once. Now that I think it through more clearly, one probably wouldn't even need to install it. Run FDISK and FORMAT /s from the startup floppy, then run EXTRACT from the CD to get the files from \Command onto one's hard driveAnd ver. 9 correspond to the one that is on which Windows--was it XP?
