Now you untar the complete modules repository which is ~8 Mbyte compressed. This takes a lot of time (especially on "slow" systems, and if /tmp isn't big enough runs out of memory. -MODLIST is always /etc/modules, so no real need to have a variable for it. MODREPO is probably always different so no need to have a default for it and LIBMOD is always /lib/modules so also no real need for a variable. But I really like the idea, it could also be used for the CD-ROM image instead of using all kinds of mount, umount and dir commands in /etc/modules.
