BL2-alpha is coming along nicely. The libraries seem to be OK now (had to make one addition today). Networking is going well (including a new dhcp client). Dial-up PPP is working (pppd 2.3 seems to be much faster than the 2.2 in BL1). links-0.93 is happy, both online and off. Everything is running very smoothly at the moment.
The only major job remaining is mail. The glibc2 version of fetchmail is significantly larger than the version in BL1, so I'm going to experiment with a smaller client that does both POP and SMTP. If it doesn't go smoothly, I could be working on it for a week or more. Then a few days for some stress-testing and trimming and she'll be ready to go. BL2-alpha will be complete, except for the built-in install-to-HD routine (that will probably go in BL2-beta). The alpha version will not be available to the general public, but I will post the URL here for anybody who would like to try it.
