I really like only having /dev/{console,null} on "disk", then mounting a
ramfs over /dev and letting mdev (busybox's udev equiv) populate it for
me. That way, I only use a couple of inodes, and if I do plug in a usb
wifi or usb disk or whatever, it appears without me having to do anything
:)
I often plug/unplug various usb devices into my ts7250, and don't want to
have to look up major/minor numbers every time I do.
I concur on the unification of effort thing - something I'd really like to
have is a binary i686 gcc-4 uclibc-eabi and gnueabi toolchain. All my
efforts to create such a beast have been fruitless so far.
It seems like most of the patches we need have been trickling upstream
which is excellent :)
