Yes, my view is that FreeDOS "Base" should provide the equivalent
functionality to MS-DOS. Anything else (Devel, Edit, Util, .. or "All" if
you group it into one set) is extra functionality that wasn't included in
the original MS-DOS.
I think the important feature is that those who want just the "MS-DOS"
behavior can install only "Base" with the correspondingly small footprint,
while people who want a more modern DOS experience can install "All."
