Are you running BL3 or BL2?  If it is BL3, have 
modified it in any way?  For example, have you
upgraded the libraries?  Or changed the kernel?
Or deleted any files that you thought were
unnecessary?

Where did you get the links2 program?  How did
you install it?

Are you running the floppy version of BasicLinux?
Or are you running the DOS version?  Or have you
installed BasicLinux to an ext2 partition on your
harddrive?

If you are running the floppy version or the DOS
version, you only have a small amount of space to 
work with.  There is no room for links2 in the floppy 
version.  There is room in the DOS version, but not if 
you have filled the space with other things.

Alternatively, there might not be enough RAM available
on your computer, or your screen resolution may not be 
sufficient.  VGA (16 colors) is not enough.  You need 
at least 256 colors for graphical links2.  

Cheers,
Steven
