I see, one or two modules are copied on the root disk, namely unix.o and
af_paket.o. Are there any special reasons having them as modules? IMHO
they are small and can be included in the kernel. The next time when I
edit rootdis.sh, I will look which root disks have identical content
(without modules) and can definitely be replaced by links.
