Additional components for BasicLinux
BasicLinux has a slim IDE kernel and a small set of common modules. If you need a more capable kernel and/or additional kernel modules, you should get them from Slackware 7.1. You will find kernels in the /kernels directory and modules in the /modules directory.
Additional components for BL3 are available here. It is also possible to install packages from Slackware 4.0 (using the pkg command). You will find the packages in the /slakware directory.
Note: packages from later Slackwares are not compatible with BL3.
