theweaselkingAn interesting dillemma of design:
The "boot disk" for Windows XP SP2 is 8MB in size.
EDIT: For extra further consideration, a 98SE boot disk fits on a single floppy and allows you to run the NT installer, even if it can't run the XP setup.exe wtih all the pretty pictures. Ah, if only the documentation actually told me this instead of suggesting the six-disk monstrosity.
