Why?  AbiWord works fine on BL2.  Your choice of Xserver
shouldn't change that.

I haven't tried installing glibc2 on BL3, but I did try it
on BL1 and it seemed to work fine.

The BL2 kernel has CDrom and NFS capabilities built in.
Those are not in the BL3 kernel (although it does have 
built-in loop capability, which the BL2 kernel lacks).  
There are some other differences too.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.  I try again:
--------------------------------------------
If you want to run xdm, use BL2.  BL3 is not
really suitable for that.

Happy?
