Talking you only need 1 floppy

You only need one floppy to boot Windows XP, most all that extra stuff in those 6 setup disks is stuff you don't need. I'd have those 6 floppies around, and a couple of custom single floppy installers...because I don't like to wait forever to install those 6 floppies. XP rocks, no doubt but it was born "beta", no doubt why microsoft plays it on the safe side and loads everything but the kitchen sink with their floppies. Bootdisk.com will give you what you need.
