Booted from HD using grub with bzImage and rootfs.gz of the image.
Runs fast as hell (like Slitaz uses to...) on AMD XP 2400+ with NVidia GeForce MX 420 (in VESA mode).
Switching to terminals (STRG-ALT-F1 to 6) just shows a dark grey blinking line (cursor) top left; no keyboard strokes accepted or commands taken. Switching back to Xorg (ALT-F7) is working. Installation of nv driver isn't possible while using xorg; without console there's no way of installing nv (I guess...)
/var/log/messages contains lots of udev-errors

/var/slim/log says
***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_free_image();
With the parameter: image being NULL. Please fix your program.
/var/log/boot.log says "Unable to configure sound card."
tazpkg recharge and upgrade ran through well, creating a new rootfs.gz with tazlitobox was a charm too. But none of the problems above was solved by this. I addition, udev threw an error on startup:
/var/log/boot.log says
Starting udev daemon...udevd[671]: error: runtime directory '/run/udev' not writable, for now falling back to '/dev/.udev'
Since your mom claims lxpanel and pcmanfm anyway, the following ones are just side aspects ;-)
I like wbar but lack the access while another window is maximized (as well as on the status bar) so windowing it again or using ALT-TAB is the only way of switching applications...
tazweb is fast and smooth but lacks tabbed window functionality...
Thanx for sharing, will be looking further into detail...
