Sindi,

I guess the obvious question is why would you want to use a BL
variant, when Slackware 11+ is what you are asking for. Just go with
Slackware 11+.

As Steven said, BL is for older hardware. If you have cutting edge
hardware, then use a cutting edge distro.

If you want a 2.6 kernel, then install a distro that has it !
Don't mess around trying to make BL into something that it isn't.


Regards,
Ron
