The BL2 'magic' does have parts used for Adventure and other games.
I replaced it with your BL3 magic file which is much shorter.

I still have about 180MB of BL2 and want to delete anything irrelevant to 
use on a laptop without sound or compiler.

Would it cause any problems if I deleted BL2 /usr/include/* on the laptop? 
I think it contains only files used for compiling dynamically.  I have 
3.5MB in it.

There are also
/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/include (and /keymaps/include).
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386..../include.

The files I copied to BL2 on this laptop are from a computer that I was 
using to compile with.  Can I delete any directory with egcs or gcc in its 
name?  All 'include' directories?

Do I need the i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1 and -gnuaout for normal 
compiling or just i386-slackware-linux (ELF)?

Can I delete all the /usr/i386* directories if I will not be compiling (or 
removepkg ldso?).

I have not compiled with BL3 and it has no i386* or include directories.

Since I have both the solibs and full glibc I just did a removepkg on the 
full glibc which removed a lot of the above, leaving 1.5MB in /usr/include 
and smaller amounts mostly in /usr/local/include and /kbd (mainly from 
svgalib and kbd packages I think).
