I'm wanting to create an just the automated system recovery floppy disk, not
a full backup. I have followed the instructions very carefully, using the
ASR Wizard. However every time I've tried to do it, it hunts up all 20 gig
of files on my hard drive and starts to put them on the floppy.

The instructions really look like they are in error. It says that it will
only copy the ASR files and that you have to separately back up the rest of
your files.

How can I only back up the ASR files to the floppy?

I just let it go, and it did the full backup first, then created the floppy.
