Hi people,


I can't find this anywhere. What is the version of the tools to
compile linux kernel 0.0.0.1 (../Historic)? And where can i find them?

device drivers?" message announcing linux is this note:

Yeah, but then you have to find the buffalo and that gets hard. (Actually
Linus used a carabou, but those are even harder to find...)

I have a friend who's a flintknapper. He's been doing it for decades and
does good work. I'm sure he could set you up with raw materials or with
finished products, i.e. arrowheads, knife blades, etc.

Well, I remember back to 0.12ish and the Caribou around here
(Alaska) were plentiful then. Ah, those were the days.

<offtopic level=2>
I did find my 0.95 disk the other day (Yggdrasil distro) and
toyed with the idea of installing it, just to see how much
things had really changed. But i don't have anything
pre-80686 :-(

Well, first you have to find a good source of obsidean, a couple of sharp
rocks, and some flint...

If you wish to make a [kernel] truly from scratch, you must first
invent the universe.

as well.
