Ok. It worked! But now, while running linuxrc, I get the message:
"
 modprobe: sis900
 modprobe: Can't locate module sis900

 ERROR! Failed to install the NIC driver module ..........
 ......
 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
"

What must i do? I think I must put sis900.o in some directory on the
opt/ltsp/i386 dir. Ok?!
