I have Pentium 233MMX with 80MB Ram (later it will be downgraded to 32MB).
I booted from SliTaz 4.0 loram-cdrom.iso using Webboot. Then I booted into SliTaz 4.0 Tiny and instlaled SliTaz rolling to HDD.
However, the PCI network card that worked perfectly fine on 4.0 livecd, refuses to work on installed rolling system.
It is: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Zonet Zen3200 [10ec:0139] (rev 10)
and is still being detected by the lspci command, but that is as far as it goes. No eth0, no /dev/ no module loaded.
According to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414129 that card can potentially suck. However, if livecd used it with no issues, than why won't the installed system?

there are still problems in rolling with loading drivers - check drivers in 4.0 and rolling with
lsmod
and load the missing drivers in /etc/rcS.conf

So, on installed SliTaz rolling lsmod only lists ipv6
And on 4.0 livecd it only lists "aufs squashfs" which doesn't sound like card's module driver.
Anyway, if I add those two to /etc/rcS.conf, on boot I get errors that those modules are not being found.
I also blacklisted ipv6 just in case, if that makes any difference.

I believe this card is part of realtek 8139 family.
anything when you run dmesg | grep 8139
?

No idea. I moved away from SliTaz some time ago, melted down that PC and dropped the remnants at the scrap yard yesterday.
But I am glad SliTaz is around for its ability of webboot, and support for old hardware. I just wish it had rsync with -aAX capabilities in 4.0 (but 4.0 was compiled without this support, which kind of kills it for purposes of backup/restore).
