Are these utility diskettes or install diskettes? If they are install
diskettes, did you start with the updated diskettes available from the OS
DDPak site? For utility diskettes, I recommend diskettes created by
BOOTOS2.

You can delete it.

No. Some of the DLL's can be lxlited, but not the drivers, TTBOMK.
Better is to delete the drivers you don't need. This includes editing
snoop.lst and deleting excess .snp's.
