Yes only those 2 binaries. All other support libraries are statically linked, so you should be good. There is also a 'kernel patch to fix the Wireless Event too big messages' (https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezeos/commit/edf339db574b10c9375972029e4c8fd91942aff0) but I still get the occasional one in /var/log/messages.
