I've now got Opera 6.11 and AbiWord 1.02 running on BasicLinux (everything fits into an 80mb partition). The X packages came from Slack71 (*not* Slack35) and I installed the glibc2, dxxlibs, ncurses, gpm, glib, gtk, zlib and libpng packages from Slack81 (I probably could have used Slack71 for all the packages, but I have a Slack81 CDrom so it was easier to use that).
The old icewm doesn't work with the X from Slack71. Fortunately Slack71 has its own icewm package. BTW, I installed X from Slack71 because it is smaller than the X packages in Slack80 and Slack81. The Opera package came from the Opera site -- I untarred it to /tmp and ran it from there. The AbiWord package came from Slack81 (/slackware/gnome directory) -- I used pkg to install it. The above installation works fine with the default 2.0 kernel in BasicLinux (but not with a 2.2 kernel -- it seems to need a /dev file that is not in BasicLinux). I haven't tried any other X applications with this installation; however, I expect most gnome-compatible applications will work.
