Hi Jayden,

as far as I am concerned, the installer should NOT backup
the entire drive - only the DOS directory which would get
overwritten, plus any (config, kernel) files in the root
directory that gets overwritten plus maybe the boot sector.

As far as installing and updating individual packages is
concerned, that task can be left to FDNPKG which does it
in a sophisticated way.

Actually I could even appreciate an option where things
already known to be from properly packaged packages can
be omitted in the backup, to have a small backup which
only contains things manually added to DOS by the user:

Replacing CHKDSK version 23 by version 42 is no loss as
far as I am concerned, so FDNPKG can just go ahead here.

Cheers, Eric
