I have a giant "kernel firmware" package on my LiveSlak image. It is 500MB, a little more than a quarter the size of the entire image. I am certain that I will not ever use more than 50MB of those, but because it is one big blob, I don't know. List the sound/wifi/ethernet/graphics chips in all the laptops in the house.
So it's nice that your ISA sound card works without you having to locate a driver for it, right, unironically: that is very cool. On the other hand, I typed `git pull` in the kernel directory yesterday or the day before, and it took about 30 minutes.
