Ummm, that's makes very hard to install a distro and be happy with it, cause 
all distros across the Linux world install by default loads of modules which 
are not used in most of cases.
Would be impossible, in my opinion, to make a distro for normal users, cause 
in most cases you cannot expect average users to decide which modules are 
they going to want in their distro, can you?
I guess that would be done in an advance install menu of the 
distribution...that's another history...

All the best
