I had one and dumped it for a SCSI CDROM. If it is ATAPI, then use ATAPI.FLP and it should work. To answer your question, yes, you xcopy the directories to your DOS partition, and install will pick them up. You'll have to install the ports and packages yourself, but that is no problem. I highly suggest reading the instructions in the leaflet on the inside cover of the cdrom jewel case for instructions on performing a DOS install. It may be in INSTALL.TXT on the CD too, I'm not sure.
