What about the possibility of having a multi-floppy version of the

Assuming you have a CD-ROM drive then you only need enough to boot that
CD-ROM images.
worth investigating?
If you have a floppy drive and a CDROM on a machine
where the BIOS is too old to boot FC2, you can use
http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html
I've used the version from Debian, in
sarge-i386-netinst.iso /install/sbm.bin
Copy it to a floppy, boot from it, select
the CDROM, and it will continue to load
FC2 from the CDROM.
This worked for FC2 and FreeBSD.
