1440k. You can clone (/bin/clone) and to have this 1440k image.
But InstallationFloppy is also 1440k.

You can make your 1.4 floppy, DOS floppy, able to boot linux without
power-down your machine, using loadlin.
Simply, copy on a dos diskette the content of the directory

                /usr/clone/loader/loadlin

together "mulinuz" (the kernel) and "root.gz" (the basic image).
