The config for the BL3 kernel is on the BasicLinux homepage.

Ouch.  That's small.  If it were mine, I'd do:
-----------------------------------
/dev/hda1    DOS              20mb 
/dev/hda2    Linux swap        3mb
/dev/hda3    Linux native      7mb
-----------------------------------
After installing BL3, delete the entire /usr/X11R6 tree
plus any other large executables/modules you don't need.

You might be able to bring one of those dead laptops to 
life with a little tweaking.  I recently got an old laptop 
which appeared to be dead (the power light came on but 
nothing happened).  Just for fun I put an HD from another 
dead laptop into it and it came to life and booted perfectly.  
It is now my best laptop.
