Re: how to compile the 0.01 version of kernel

[Berlin Brown <berlin.brown@xxxxxxxxx>]

There might be other linux 0.01 variants, I can't remember which one is the most stable.  If that version doesn't work, then try others.

I tried to create a similar project and it is tough work, but the Linux 0.01 code itself is not that complicated. If I remember it ranged in size of about 15,000 lines of code.  That was only the kernel.  I had issues with trying to get other software to work like VI, Bash, etc.

There is a compilable 0.01 version of linux out there.  Don't take the actual source.  You need a custom 0.01 kernel to work with the modern compiler tools out there.

If you do make a version, you might try creating a VMWare VM and putting it online.

This might be it.

 but ... why?  i can appreciate the historical entertainment value to
some extent, but nobody's going to hire you based on your familiarity
with the 0.01 version of the linux kernel.

 surely there are more interesting and potentially profitable ways to
spend your time that employers would care about.

Thanks to all of you for all your help.
Berlin, I'm downloading the source code for compilable 0.01 kenel that I can compile/run on my box. Thanks for everything. And once everything works out I'll put VMware/Virtualbox image on the web so that others like me can benefit from that. Thanks for the nice suggestion.

Thanks,
KK
