Could the BasicLinux maintainers put, in parallel
with the 3.5 tree, two other trees for the versions
2.1 and the legacy 1.8 version, please?

I'm sorry, BL1 and BL2 are no longer being maintained.

Will BL1 work with all the BL3 add-ons?

The Miscellaneous contributions from BL3 users links include some BL2 add-ons (most of mine are BL2). Any BL3 add-ons ought to work if you install libc5 (just the parts that ldd says you are missing should be enough) except for X programs. Anything from Slackware 7.1 will work, or from later Slackware, if you update glibc to that Slackware version.

Ask on this list for other help. Steven (the author and only maintainer) is no longer adding pieces to the older versions but would probably still answer questions, as will other list members. Search the archives before you ask, because most questions have come up at least 10 times.
