Sure -- make a "Mini-system" by removing most of the "superfluous" CDEVs
(e.g. Color, Sound, etc.) and go into the system file with Font/DA Mover
and remove superfluous fonts (anything other than Chicago, Geneva and Monaco
in point sizes 10 and 12 is what I use) and DAs (For example, you don't
really need the Chooser).  Also be sure that you only have "Finder" in
the System Folder and not Multifinder.  Now Disinfectant 2.0 should "just"
fit on the floppy; on my particular disk (System 6.0.4) I make it with 3K
to spare.  I haven't played with 6.0.5 (I have an A+ optical mouse -- I lose),
but I would suspect that with similar "crunching" techniques you can do the
same with it.
