   And I also have it running on BL2.  I didn't use his linux.zip because I 
already have a functioning BL2 with the extra libraries from SW9.1, but I 
found I was missing mktemp - required for the installation of OpenOffice.  So 
I copied a mktemp from a SW9.1 distro I have (and ldd showed its dependancies 
were found), and it installed without a hiccough.  I installed and setup 
using the default directories, although I did decline the use of java.  It 
even prints direct from swriter to my laserjet, using either its default 
driver or lp.

    This is on a 600 MHz Duron with 256 MG RAM, so it has plenty of room.

Regards,
         Ron
