[Voyage-linux] Removal of un-useless modules in voyage kernel 2.6.17_3.0-1

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi guys,

These days I have been removing some "un-useless" kernel modules in 
2.6.17_3.0-1 as to reduce disk space in the distro.  So far, 3.0-2 
kernel in voyage current has removed the following drivers (long 
list).   Please voice it out and state your reason for any objection. 

You are also welcome to suggest any proposal to slim it down as well.  
Attach is the full list of modules in voyage-current with size (in KB).  
It is dumped using command "du -a /lib/modules/2.6.17-486-voyage/ |grep 
"ko$"|sort -n".  My plan is to remove some uncommon wireless drivers, 
nfsd.ko, floppy.ko and some other crypto drivers.
