Well, the install floppy already doesn't fit in 1.44Mb (because of new drivers,
switch to ELF, etc ...).
For the laptop I had to install, I only had this solution, or burn a CD.
But network access from a boot floppy is always usefull.

If we still want a single-floppy install maybe we should start building
specialized boot floppies.
