The BL2 site is now hosted at http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux2
by BL member Christof.

The link to the add-ons is listed as
http://www.basiclinux.com.ru/download
which no longer exists.

The add-ons are in the directory
http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux2
but you have to know their names since there is no link to them.

http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux2/bl2-x.tgz
contains icewm for BL2 (simpler menu).

I am now mirroring it at http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/bl2-x.tgz

To use it in Slackware 11 I extracted it in /tmp, copied the 
usr/X11R6 parts (icewm) to /usr/X11R6, then replaced twm in 
/root/.xinitrc with icewm.

Which icewm  - /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm

This is to avoid changing XF86Config.  Do I need .Xdefaults?  It seems to 
fix some backspace problem that I don't have in SW11.

Startx now gives icewm (with three xterms and a clock loaded by SW11 
.xinitrc).

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/bl2-icewm.tgz

Usable with any Slackware (or probably anything glibc 2.1.3 or later)

tar -zcvf /tmp/bl2-icewm.tgz usr

To use, download to / and tar -zxvf bl2-icewm.tgz then edit /root/.xinitrc 
(or /user/.xinitrc/) to replace your wm with icewm.

Steven, do you want to contact Christof and ask him to put the add-ons in 
some directory and fix the link to point to it?  (I forget his address).
