I allways used a dualboot installation with DOS 6.22 and win98Se using a bootmanager, strictly separating my dos installation from the windows 98 one. And I allways lived in the illusion, that I could easily replace the win98 installation, if it gets corrupted somehow. But finally I allways had to install the whole thing again (bootmanager, partitions, dos 6.2, win) so this was never an advantage at all.

Are there any other reasons to prefer the dual boot install over the bootmenu of win98?
Or can i just have the same "dos functionality" with DOS 7.0?

Is see no reason why you should stick with DOS 6.22 when you can boot into pure DOS (DOS 7) thru Win98?
I often use the guide here as a template to be able to boot directly into win98 DOS
