SubjectRe: The history of the Linux OS
Quoting Riley Williams (rhw@bigfoot.com):

Is there a note about which is the oldest kernel version one can
actually compile using recent tools (gcc-2.7.2+, binutils-2.8+,
make-3.7x+)?

> 1.2.0 through 1.2.13

I once had 1.2.13pl9 and pl10 for m68k Amigas. I'm not sure whether
these pl releases were official kernels which had *then* m68k patches
applied to them.

I also once had at least one kernel which had PATCHLEVEL= or
SUBLEVEL= set to "99" in the Makefile. Not sure which version
this actually was (it was >=1.2.x), but I remember that the
numbers in its tar filename mentioned a slightly different
version. Maybe a lookup in the kernel archive could help.

Do you plan to archive non-x86 kernels, too? Sometimes their
evolution was interesting, too (especially the older/first
ports).

ciao,
johnny
