Steven: I've got an old 486 DX2 with 20 MB RAM I could use as a test machine for BL 2.0 development. I think I'm also going to put Vectorlinux 1.8 on it, which seems already quite close to what you're aiming for in BL 2.0 (except it will be a much larger install - 175 MB) since it has the 2.2 kernel and Icewm - just for comparison purposes. I can use a large enough hard disk in it for Vectorlinux, Slack 7.1 and BL 2.0 stuff.
Browser-wise, I'm guessing the best recommendation might be Opera. As I understand it, both Galeon and Konqueror rely on the Gnome and KDE desktop environments, respectively. For me, at least, it would be a big headache trying to determine what exactly from Gnome or KDE would need to be installed in order for the browser to run. But then, that will surely not pose a big problem for you. And, once discovered, couldn't that expand the installation of the related browser files to unacceptable levels? Opera, on the other hand, is a sort of self-contained package, as I understand it. It comes in a Qt "statically linked" form which, as I understand it, can install and run pretty much as is (without additional files/libraries). The tar.gz package for the current release (6.1) is 5.5 MB. Maybe the decision should be based largely on size: if the install of Konqueror or Gnome with related files greatly exceeds that of Opera, then Opera should be recommended. This is my take, at the moment anyways. Something like dillo would be ideal if it were more capable. But of the more stable and really useful graphical browsers, the ones you mention are probably the only real candidates.
