Experts:
I’m now looking for a DOS boot disk with the following requirements: based on the standard Win98 boot disk, it should be able to provide DOS menu options (mainly: 1. boot with CD-ROM driver 2. boot from hard disk), remove some useless DOS commands (mainly: Format, Fdisk, copy, xcopy, scandisk, etc.), add the two excellent programs DM 9.56 and Ghost 7.5, and also add the Smartdrv file (to make installing 2000 and XP more convenient; it would be best if one floppy disk could carry it all). I think a boot disk like this would be both simple and practical. I hope all you experts can lend a hand. If you don’t have time to make one, just telling me the method to make it would also be fine. Many thanks!

If you want to have one disk in hand and go anywhere, then floppy disk space really is not enough.
I suggest you make a CD. I made one myself, and my method is as follows:

1, I made my own boot floppy, namely the “boot disk with a large amount of hard disk technical materials” from this forum. It not only has abundant materials, but also includes smartdrv, subst, format, xcopy, deltree, etc. More importantly, it has two kinds of CD-ROM drivers that can be arranged flexibly. This boot disk was made into a CD boot image and burned onto the CD.
2, Over time I built up a huge DOS system, with all kinds of tools, reaching 400m (all DOS utilities, not including the mini win operating system), and burned it onto the CD.
3, I also collected many kinds of boot floppies (dozens of them), made them all into image files, and burned them onto the CD, so that later when needed they can be written back into boot floppies at any time under DOS.
4, Pick a few pictures and a few MIDI and MP3 tunes to burn on as well, for testing the graphics card and sound card under DOS.

And so on. Wouldn't a DOS CD like this be much more comprehensive than the functions you want? One disk really can take you anywhere. This is not something a floppy can replace.
I even made two identical copies.

Suggestion as above, please consider it.
