I would do this with some care.  Genuine crap (like the online service stuff)
is easily tossed; apparent crap (like the PC Card director) can turn out
unexpectedly useful! (I recently used it when debugging a portable CDROM
installation.  Incidentally - for the record, CMS Enhancements CDROM drives
don't appear to be compatible with the 560.

You probably know this, but (a) FAT32 will slow your system down marginally,
(b) make some DOS apps not work, (c) lose you some degree of IBM support, 
(d) was the single largest source of problems on alt.windows95 before the
introduction of IE4, and (e) will reclaim less space than drivespace, even
if the latter is in 'no compression' mode.  Just a reminder.

This is discussed at length in the Windows 95 FAQ; what I've done in a similar
situation is (a) had all the 'dos' stuff (from \windows\command), (b) The setup and
config files from disk 1 of the backup set you made with the factory.
