]Does this mean that DR DOS requires extra memory between 640K and 1MB (i.e.
]those used by shadow ram) in order to relocate drivers etc. ? Can it relocate
]everything to extended memory above 1 MB ?

It uses what memory is available between 640K and 1M (actually
the first segment above 1M) to load itself, drivers, system
structures and TSRs. 

It also allows the user to specify whether to copy slow BIOS code
to faster RAM... (I am a little unclear on what "shadow ram"
means...;-(
