Steve, I cannot (and I don't want to) make any assumption on behalf of
potential users of a minimal live system :) The initramfs contains all
the modules shipped with the standard Devuan kernel, that's why it is
so fat. In fact, "du -ch /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel" says that
those sum up to 159 MB, which account for most of the space required
by the initramfs.
Anyway, I have just started working on stripping down the
initramfs. This will probably go on an "experimental" branch, and I
will need people to test the resulting images on as many hw
configurations as possible. I will keep you posted, hopefully with
good news :)

If the live OS is running only in the initramfs, then it is
necessary to keep all the modules. If it is running from a partition of
the USB stick, then the only modules needed in the initramfs are those
necessary to mount the partition of the USB stick.
