The NetWare Lite component was not tested for Y2K Compatibility (according to an April 1999 article). Probably DR-DOS 6.0 itself wasn't either but I can't find anything from novell on the subject probably due to the product line being sold to Caldera mid-1996.
Novell stopped supporting DR-DOS when they sold it to Caldera on 23 July 1996. Not sure how long Caldera supported it for. NetWare Lite was discontinued on 30 April 1998 (ref).

Patches and notes about DR-DOS 6.0. I don't have a copy of this so not much here.
Supposedly this included a copy of NetWare Lite 1.1. Possibly only in some later Novell releases of DR-DOS 6? Or perhaps its boxed copies of NetWare Lite that come with DR-DOS 6?
These were the patches up on the Novell support site on 7 May 1999. See also: Patches for NetWare Lite.
