the real installed system should not use devfs nor require it.

I think project-root is debian-boot, then once logged in you can
checkout the boot-floppies or debian-installer modules depending on
your taste.

Erm, it's been so long that I forgot. We do use devfs. We still have to
provide a number of compatability links in /dev, since a lot of stuff,
expecially libraries, doesn't support the devfs names yet. Everything
we're foing for d-i should use the devfs names, if possible.

Here are some handy figures about what's changed. I ran

If it wasn't for that 33k binary plus config files, I'd say go for it,
but we can't afford to bloat more right now.

Hmm, that's still 4k bigger than udpkg.
If it ever gets on a par with udpkg as far as size, it can go in, we're

How practical would it be to compile devfs and include devfsd in the
bootfloppies?
on my system, devfsd is 33k, 15k after gzip. This would let b-f get rid of
/dev/*, and could make for more reliable installation scripts (i.e, once
