Use a text editor (they come with the various DOS'es are are usually 
called 'edit' to edit the file in your baslin directory named hd.bat and 
change zimage to zimage.4dx.

Or copy it first and rename it to hd4.bat and edit the copy if you want to 
keep the original.

As long as your kernel is the same version number (2.2.16 for Bl2 and Bl3) 
it does not make a big difference which zimage you use.  You can also use 
the ones from Slackware 4 or 7.1 in the various kernel directories, such 
as bare.i, which is needed to listen to sounds.  All of the kernels that 
Steven posted for Bl3 are 2.2.16, they are just optimized for different 
cpus.  I assume you have a 486.

To upgrade libc, use the glibc package from SW71 or SW81 and simply 
install it.  It will coexist with the libc5 library from SW40 used in Bl3 
and let you run programs that need the later libraries.
