Well,
I just took a look at the latest floppy images. It looks like
everything that's there fits with room to spare -- in some cases
not a lot of room, but enough to allow for inevitable growth
between now and the expected release date, which is all that
matters.
Would you care to share the secret? What did you do to create all
that free space?
However... There is one important thing missing from the boot
disks. Specifically, the "System" file is zero length. This is
true of both boot and ofonlyboot for both 2.4 and 2.6. It won't
boot that way.
Enjoy!
