Hi,

Xmodmap is only available with the Cooking version.

# tazpkg search xmodmap

Edit /etc/rcS.conf and add tg3 to LOAD_MODULES. In live mode you can
use the option modprobe=tg3. With a LiveUSB system you can modifiy
files and then use 'tazusb writefs lzma' to regenerate the
compressed rootfs and keep your settings:
