What are the minimum files needed on a floppy to use it as a startup disk?  By
minimum I mean I want the most disk space unused, but I want a system capable
of launching an application.  I guess I need a System Folder with a System and
Finder files, no fonts in the System file, no desk accessories (is control
panel required?), the desktop file, and some drivers?  Which drivers are
required?
