on kernel.org you can get old kernels clear back to 0.01 in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/ but some things are missing, though nothing major
what's missing that I'm most interested in is the linux boot-disk that apparently came into being around .11.
to quote from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.12: 2) Test out the linux boot-disk with the root file system. <endquote>
and the .11 release notes/installation instructions (again quoting from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/old-versions/RELNOTES-0.12) INSTALLATION This is a SHORT install-note. The installation is very similar to 0.11, so read that (INSTALL-0.11) too. <endquote>
none of these things are included in linux-0.11.tar.gz/bz2
I presume Linus just assumed that they'd be of no real interest to anyone looking at the old kernels, but they'd be of interest to me as I'm quite interested in what linux went through in early development beyond just reading about it, I prefer to actually see these things for myself :)
So does anyone have these two things? (the .11 release notes/install instructions and boot/root diskette) If so, I'd be grateful if you could either point me to them, or email them to me (tegeran@Home.com)
Thanks, -NK
