I did look at doing that - sort of, I removed a lot of programs that I
was not using and so forth, that gave me a little bit more but not
enough for what I needed.  I really wanted a ramdisk image that had
lots of disk drive dev nodes, nothing much else was required so all
the inodes taken up by ptys that I would never use seemed like a bit
of a waste.
