Nope...works like installing Windows.  Disk1 is bootable and AUTOEXEC runs
setup routine which walks you through FDISK and FORMAT options to prep the
hard disk, and calls EXPAND itself to extract files, prompts you to swap
floppies, etc.

Shouldn't be a biggie if you have a working 6.22 setup on which to create
the bootable Disk1.  However, also like Windows, there are upgrade and full
versions.  It it's an upgrade, it will insist on finding a prior version
(probably 6.2) to upgrade.
