About 75MB to 100MB, depending on machine architecture.  boot.iso
is small enough to fit on almost any media except floppy disk.
This includes older Compact Flash cards (which appear electronically
as a ATA harddrive) and USB flash memory devices, etc., with capacity
as low as 8MB.  The Rescue CD is very useful, but it is also about
12 to 15 times the size of boot.iso.
