I got the kernel source from Slackware 7.1.  The busybox source
came from the busybox site.  Xvesa was compiled from the XFree86
source (which took a long time to download on my 33.6 modem).  
The libc5 libraries and most of the binaries came from Slackware 
3 or 4 (I used whichever version was smallest and/or had the best 
features).  rxvt, swm and eznet were all compiled from downloaded
source.

You will find the kernel source in the /slakware/k1 directory
of Slackware 7.1.

I assume you will be using install-to-hd ?

Slackware 7.1 binaries won't work on BL3.  BL3 has libc5 libraries.  
Slackware 7.1 binaries need glibc2.  I used GCC from Slackware 4.0 
to compile most things for BL3.  I did that on a BL1 foundation 
(which uses the same libraries as BL3).  I expect they will also 
work on BL3.  IIRC, these are the packages I installed:
------------
binutils.tgz
egcs.tgz
gmake.tgz
libc.tgz
linuxinc.tgz
------------
I'm pretty sure I took linuxinc.tgz from Slackware 7.1
(it's in the same directory as the kernel source).  All 
the others came from the k1 directory of Slackware 4.0.
