The installer is going well and is about 50% done. But, I have two questions.

Situation:
User is doing an upgrade install from FD1.1.

FDI already prompts to backup. Then will backup config files and the c:\FDOS 
directory.

1) should FDI purge the c:\fdos directory before it installs the new files. Or, 
keep everything it doesn't overwrite?

2) should the installer keep the users current config files or install new 
default ones. 

I see problems doing either of these, either way. 

The most reliable way would be to purge the c:\fdos directory and install fresh 
config.sys and autoexec.bat files. But, that will force the user to modify 
theirs post install. Not doing it, the system may be flakey or not even boot 
completely.
