Which BasicLinux site is it available from? I get a 404 not found from
basiclinux.com.ru, and I don't see those instructions in either
http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux2/faq.txt or
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/bl2/faq.txt.

When I answered yes, it complained that I didn't have Java set up. Did
you download a Java environment or did it come with OpenOffice?

run Firefox on BL2 if Opera is better?
