To make a bootable, packed floppy with Disinfectant and System on it, you could
simply use Stuffit's Auto-Unstuffit creator and make one file with all 
necessary files in the archive and let the user unstuffit it to a floppy by 
clicking on it.

Personally I really do not see the use in all this fuss over putting 
disinfectant with a minimum system on a floppy.  What is the problem?  Those 
that know how to create such disk wouldnot waste their time downloading suhc a 
huge file, and those who are clueless about creating a system disk with just 
system and finder plus the disinfectant application on it, will most likely 
also by baffled by the taks of using Diskcopy or Stuffit to create their disk.

Could someone please clarify to 'moi' poor lost soul why this seems to be such 
an important issue?
