Don't worry.  The wallpaper files are very small.

Two important advantages:
(1) It is half the size of zgv.
(2) zgv requires SVGAlib (which BL3 does not have).

No that's way too big.

Yes.  I've configured links to add as an image browser
(as well as an HTML browser and local file browser).

I use sylpheed on BL2.  But it requires some extra libs.

The modules in BL1 are 2.0.34.  BL2 uses a 2.2.16 kernel, 
so the modules need to be 2.2.16.  That includes the
slhc and ppp modules.

Use BL2 modules with the BL2 kernel.

Not for ppp.

When you insmod, it looks in the directory matching the kernel.
In BL1 the module directory is:  /lib/modules/2.0.34/misc
In BL2 the module directory is:  /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc
