On my system /lib/modules is only 6Mb, that's SIX Mb.

I can count the Mb's on the fingers of one hand (yes, I am
a mutant).

But we have to add to that the proprietary Nvidia modules
which total 80Mb.  (Nvidia is like a mini-junk-distro that
tries to support all vid cards with a single module.)

Still, my in-tree kernel modules total 6Mb and that's how
it should be.  GNU/Linux is quite efficient.

The mainstream distros, however, are forced to cram 160Mb
when only 6Mb are actually necessary.

Don't keep apologizing for this lunacy.
