After having installed the "October 2001" MSDN Library collection, is there an incremental benefit from also installing the older (around August 1998) "Visual Studio 6.0a" collection? Or will I just fill up my HDD with near-duplicate stuff?

My main interests are Visual Basic 6.0 and the Knowledge Base around Win98. MS often deletes stuff in newer collections and deletes information when revising articles.
