libc-2.0.7 is 625Kb, and libc-2.2.5 is 1171Kb, so after gzipping you gain about 250Kb on the size of root.lrp (from memory). So yes, I don't see why it shouldn't work in a dual floppy rig. I have a vague memory of somebody explaining to me that that the reason that 2.2.x is so much bigger is because it has a bunch of backwards compatibility stuff in it to allow binaries linked against 2.0.x to continue to work. So if one was to go through and rebuild all the binaries in bering against 2.2, then the 2.2 could be cut down to a size not too much bigger than the current 2.0 libc. But I could be on crack.
