Network BootDisk help

the past few days I'v been making a boot disk system that starts up the network services and is eventualy going to use Ghost to multicast to alot of PC's without user interaction.
I already have the network part up and running on the floppy, problem is, I'v run out of space >.< so....I know there is a way of doubeling the space on a floppy in return for a slower read and write speed, I need some help on how to do this. Hopefully I'll be able to fit ghost and the network loader on one floppy.

Thanks in advance.

Take alook at the Win98 recovery disk. What it basicly does is create a RAM disk and unzips a file from the floppydisk to this RAM disk. This way you might be able to squeeze a few more files on it.

>.< already does this, what I'm thinking is Disk compression.
It sucks but I need the space.

/usr/sbin/fdformat /dev/fd0.????
same with linux i would expect? the example i saw was forcing 1720 instead of 1440 risky though.

they only have windows at work >.<

hmmm...what would be good is getting it to be a 2.88 disk =\

You'll need special disks and diskdrives for this. Not all PCs have a 2.88 floppydrive.

Bleh, I know...I just need extra space, and I think maybe disk-compression may give it, but I'm not sure.

Isn't something like Stacker(tm) build into DOS 6.22? It's been awhile but I can remember MS being sued by the guys that made Stacker(tm).

Might not the answer you're looking for why are you not using a second floopy? I realy easy to make a Echo that ask for a the 2e floopy and a wait command for the user to insert the second floopy.

try zip disk...or maybe a CD....would that work?
