The installer uses mklibs.py for library reduction. It sounds
like you want a version without reduced libraries, although that
might not fit on a floppy anymore. But to get it, I would say you
would need to get the source for boot-floppies
apt-get source boot-floppies
and then build it after figuring out how to switch off the reduction.
