You could still offload some data from the C: drive to the other

could be moved to free up some space. Don't forget about purging
the various Temp folders.
I agree. The actual Windows 95 system folder and files really don't
take up all that much room, probably less than a couple hundred MB. You
can move the TEMP directory, My Documents, Temporary Internet Files,
and swap file all to the other drives without too much problem. It
might be worth moving the program files, too, although that's trickier.
Most foolproof method is to uninstall them and reinstall them to the D
(or whatever) drive. There might be a version of TweakUI for Windows 95
that can help you change the location of those special folders.
As I recall, FAT16 has a partition size limit of about 2 GB, so you're
already at that limit. It's probably not necessary, anyway.
