I hardly belive that you will succeed. To get extra space you will need 
to remove some kernel modules included on bootdisks. While this can be 
done on bootdisk-net it shouldn't be done on bootdisk-cd. In any case 
removing kernel modules will force user to use addon disks.

Also, did I mentioned that bootdisk is using kernel 2.4? And there is no 
way to put 2.6 there, it will simply not fit there no matter how hard 
you will try.

You may also get required amount of space by removing translations. 
They're around 100KB and doesn't compress well. Or you may prepare 
separate bootdisks in english, polish and german. But I think its not 
worth of it. Ac bootdisks are useless on modern hardware (kernel doesn't 
support most of motherboards, mainly SATA controllers).

And very important info: if you will touch something on bootdisk be 
prepared that 3 other things will stop working. It was just one big 
workaround to get Ra installer working for Ac. You should better invest 
your time in preparing Anaconda bootdisks, really :)
