Well, you'll definitely need devices in the system you build, and you will need _some_ of the devices to build and test the system, e.g. things will go strangely wrong if /dev/null doesn't exist.
I have no idea how few of the devices are actually needed for the build, nor which are only needed to successfully test it. Certainly, /dev/pts is needed for testing. Trying to build without /proc will cause odd errors somewhere, and I doubt you can test udev if /sys isn't mounted. If you want to follow the book, you have to do what it says. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
