Here's what I used to use to image machines with plenty of memory.  It
addresses two problems: space for the program and not enough space on the
floppy for everything needed.  This version is specific to NE2000 NICs.

CONFIG.SYS

The gawk command generates the MS network SYSTEM.INI file on the fly and
insert a tem****ary (unique) machine name.

Maybe there is something in all that that you can use.  It is known to
work.
