A proof-of-concept is here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_cAT21CeqCnKfC4pzPfX1WSRCpXFpYNj/view

This T2502 repack:

* Reduces the FreeDOS distribution set to one CD-R.
* And is orange book conformant so that it can be stamped in bulk.
* And has 100 MB of free space for more DOS application software.

None of the installation tooling was changed.

The savings are free and benefit the end user.  (And I enjoy doing it.)

I've used the RBE, and stunned is indeed a good word for it.
