xli displays in 256 colors quite a bit better than xv, but xv will also
display pnm format (which is the intermediate stage when editing with
netpbm).

Ups. just a moment netpbm is on of the apps that I really wont. I moved it to my mulinux from a bigger laptop with vectorlinux by coping all the libs it needed (lib6) but does yours run on lib5?

Yes, David Moberg compiled it for BL3 (and it works in BL2 if you add libc6). http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/blfiles.htm described what you need. I made one base package (netpbmbl.tgz ?) and two others, one for BL2 and one for BL3. Download the one with a 3 in it. And also netpbm.doc and a readme file with instructions and suggested scripts that the author of netpbm helped me to write. The files are in ..../bl (and I did not link to blfiles.htm, sorry). There is also a newer tifftopnm (statically compiled) that does multipage tiffs, in the same place.

I posted some other useful programs for BL3 (and BL2) that other people helped me to compile - ghostscript 8.50 and lynx 2.8.5.1 and others.

There is also mplayer for BL3 (and BL2) at David's site (search the archive)

It is a little
complicated. If you have a free partition you can make it into an ext2
partition, by using BL3 fdisk, and install BL3 to it instead.



OK i might just start all over agan repartition my hd. But I can't see how I should do after fdisk. First install to loop then boot and then type 'install' to make the install one its own partition is it right? And then should I make a swap partition or does BL do without? (I did brows the archive but did not found any clere answer)
