/slackware/a/kernel-modules-2.4.18......tgz  7.6MB !!!!

Do they really expect anyone to download this monster?
SW7.1 had individual modules.

Someone please remind me how to extract individual modules from the file 
on CD.  I would like to get FB_CON*.o.gz, for instance, along with 
matroxfb and a few others, without having to unpack it all.

I can use BL2 or BL3 tar.

tar -zxvf ?
