Well, if you *really* want to do that, then I guess you'd want to do something along the lines of : 1) get hold of an old 386 PC. 2) Get hold of a very old version of a distribution like SLS or similar one from that era - good luck finding those. Or if you can't find an old enough distribution you'll probably have to try and find sources from ~1993 for all userspace tools etc you need and somehow setup an environment where you can get them build and transfered to your 386 box... The oldest kernel I ever used was something like 0.98patchlevel<something> which was on Slackware 1.02 or thereabout if I remember correctly... I doubt you could get 0.01 to run on even that... In short: Give it up, that kernel is just too ancient. Learn from a modern kernel instead. -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
