Caldera?  SuSE?  Why?  BasicLinux is designed to use
Slackware packages.  The first place to look (for BL2)
is Slackware 7.1:
-------------------------------------
libtiff      /slakware/d1/libtiff.tgz
libjpeg      /slakware/d1/jpeg6.tgz
libpng       /slakware/d1/libpng.tgz 
libgpm       /slakware/a5/gpm.tgz
libX11       /slakware/x1/xbin.tgz
-------------------------------------

It is more difficult to install packages from other 
distributions *and* they might not be compatible with 
BasicLinux.
