Thanks to all those that replied (there were way too many too send
individual notes).  The consensus is that indeed you can install
MS-DOS 5.0 from a non-boot drive!  Many have done so.  There is one
proviso, and that is that the UNINSTAL disk MUST be a bootable disk
so it will get created in A:.

Thanks again!  (Now I don't have to take 2 dozen screws out of my
tower case :-)
