I started with 1.3.2 and ran into problems.  
Busybox no longer supports the 2.2 kernel.
Even in busybox 1.2.2 the fdisk applet didn't 
work correctly with 2.2 kernels (I modified
the sourcecode to fix it).

Perhaps.  I believe the new busybox policy is
to release early and often.

links-0.95

I compiled about a dozen different versions of
links and links2.  Balancing features vs size,
I felt 0.95 was the best.  I like it a lot.

I expect it will.

No, Xconfig and Xsetup stay the same. But there are
changes in /usr/X11R6, /usr/share, and /root.
