I assume the 2.2.5 version is for BL2 and the libc5
version is for BL3.

The BL3 links2 needs the jpeg and png libraries too,
but I compiled them statically into the program.

Recently I've been finding more and more websites
that don't work with Phoenix (Firefox 0.6).  However,
almost all of those sites do work with links2.  I'm
using links2 quite a lot these days.

Most of the BL3 applications have small footprints 
so they will run OK in 16mb RAM without a swap file.  
However, for multi-tasking in X with 16mb RAM, I 
strongly recommend a 32mb swap file.
