Yea, if you "Restart" sysinstall, it is exec()ed with a -restart
flag, so the program knows not to reload kernel modules and such.
With these two wireless Ethernet device modules included, mfsroot.gz
is 925,842 bytes. I believe the size was around 800k before I moved
these two modules over. By using modules on the MFSROOT, we should be
able to include more device support for 4.5 than we did for 4.4.
