Venix/86R for the Rainbow shipped on 8 RX50 floppies.... BSW additions were

Some of the early Xenix distros were about as massive, when you included
development tools. And OS?2 on floppy when accompanied by the relevant
CSDs could also run into many disks.
If memory serves, that mass of floppies was dwarfed by Windows 95,
particularly later versions.
Win95: 13 disks.
Win98: 38 disks.
