Hi,

I'd like to suggest a possible improvement to the Alpine installer.
Alpine installs quite a bit of firmware and, after the instalation, I have to get rid of most of it.
Debian installer has a nice script by which it detects and allows to install only the firmware which is really needed.
It works remarkably well, and I haven't found such feature on any other distro.
I think it'd be cool to see this implemented on Alpine, in keeping with the minimalistic approach.
