Don't remove the file called ProDOS. 

BASIC.SYSTEM is 11k on my system, EasyAccess is 4k. Maybe some room 
there if you don't need Basic.

An 800k floppy is really a tight squeeze for System 6.0.1. Back in the 
day it was suggested that a floppy only system is better off with System 
5.0.4 because a hard drive equipped system benefits best from 6.0.1

There was, a few years back, a recommendation for how to best setup a 
floppy with 6.0.1 but I don't remember if it was on csa2 or GEnie.

Can you catalog the disk and post what you've already pared it down to?
