There's just no room. An *absolute* minimum system is about 1.3M of disk space. If you have a second disk drive, you can get away with it by moving some files to it and then pointing to them in CONFIG.SYS via "B:\"; some of thse files include CMD.EXE, KEYBOARD.DCP, and VTBL850.DCP (I think that's really it). The next release of SE20BOOT will include the ability to build a 2-disk BOOT system that should allow you to do this automatically.
