Beat me, flame me, but I haven't seen anyone ask this, so I will.

I've been buying all my software for years now in 3.5" size.  My
A drive is a 5.25", however, out of historical necessity.  Can I
buy the MS-DOS 5.0 upgrade in 3.5" disks without swapping A & B?
I don't mind if I need to, but I would like to know ahead of time.
I wouldn't even have asked, but the box says you can upgrade
across a network, and that implies the install script to does not
need to be the booted disk in A.

Thoughts (preferably simple one word answers) can be sent to
