I can think of two cases where you suggested I use BL1 instead:

1. To install dosemu because it requires bash (but I could add bash to BL3 - I might try the dietlibc version of it)
2. To use seejpeg/vgalib as a viewer for links, if you have too little RAM to run X with xli. This can also be added to BL3.

BL1 might work better for compiling since it has the full versions of the busybox utilities. I compiled kermit with it. I have not tried compiling with BL3 yet.

Christof likes something else about BL1 - the keyboard package?

IMHO BL3 is much better than BL1 (that's why
it's got the higher number). So BL3 is usually
the right one to choose (unless someone is
intending to install a lot of Slackware packages,
in which case, BL2 provides the best Slackware
foundation).


You can install Slackware packages to BL3, from SW3 or 4, or if you add a later library, from later Slackwares. Is there any particular advantage to using BL2 rather than BL3 with glibc added from SW81, plus any full versions of busybox utilities that prove necessary?

Cheers,
Steven
