This way you can automatically handle all USB keyboards and mass-storage
devices (install onto a USB hard disk, or install from a USB CDROM).

Yup, try it :)
It builds in the usb.distmap into the binary.  Actually it takes it from
the modules.usbmap, which on my box is 81kb (which produces a 15kb
binary.)

Tell that to the other distros and rescue disks using it :)

We can take this off-list if you want (actually the linux-hotplug-devel
list is the proper list for it.)  I can help you reduce the binary image
even more if you don't want to do ieee1394 and pci hotplug (which I am
guessing you don't want.)
