Not really anything.

No.

And what happens soon when more devices end up in the system and 1.44Mb
isn't enough? A few more network drivers and the like would do it.

The only real solution for installs is compressed boots. Everyone
else (Linux, FreeBSD) does them, and hopefully we will soon, too.

Meanwhile, I do have a last ditch solution in case I don't get my code
in under the wire. Since I'll probably be building the distribution,
believe me that I've given this considerable thought...
