Delete it, it's too old (2006). Everything on there is probably outdated. If it works for you, good. But otherwise it's probably more reliable to check a local DJGPP (or FreeDOS) mirror for updated stuff.

A very old, unsupported, defunct, highly experimental, unofficial distribution of FreeDOS + DJGPP stuff that nobody ever widely used.

Not worth messing with, most likely.
