- Unfortunately, I really doubt it. I wrote MAKEBOOT.CMD, using the files
- 'blueprint' by someone else. (Can't remember his name now, it's noted in
- the comments of the .CMD file.) Anyway, I tried 'losing' some of the files,
- and things started not to work. The only one I can think of offhand is the
- PRINT0#.SYS, which is not necessary unless you are going to be printing. But
- this only saves 7994 bytes.
-
- If a one-disk solution is that important, maybe you could look into using
- the FDFORMAT trick on 3.5" disks...
