yes -- USB sticks appear as SCSI devices, last time i looked, right?
Yes, I was thinking about JFFS2 filesystem with USB. I guess you could
use MTD on a NOR flash BIOS for example but AFAIK nobody does.
oh, i realize it doesn't hurt to build them as modules, but i'm doing
a walkthrough of a kernel config and build for some folks later this
week (latest "git pull" of kernel on FC6) and part of the discussion
will be what parts of the kernel legitimately *need* to be there for a
reasonably usable build.
i think i'll make that another post under another more general
subject.
There is likely a metric ton of stuff you can throw out of the configure
depending on what you actually need from the kernel.
