Hi,
Does anybody happen to have (and is willing to share) a tarball containing
archives of this list going back well into the 90's? I am, shall we say,
researching the activities of certain companies (when I should really be
working on driver books) and something greppable would be most helpful.
Thanks,
jon

But you'll have to use google to search it.

I tend to collect such things, but lost early stuff in disk crashes.
There is here
- stuff from ftp://ftp.uwsg.iu.edu/linux/mail.archive/kernel/
1 Mar 1996 - now.
[you can ftp that yourself, I suppose]
- stuff from linuxhttp://www.db.erau.edu
96.06-99.09.
- linux-activists list archive
Very fragmentary, Oct 1991 to Oct 1993.
Also Oct 1993 to Jul 1995.
Also Jan 1992 to Dec 1993.
- linux-kernel
Jul 1995 to Apr 1996.
[lots of garbage in various different formats and from various sources;
very time consuming to sort out; different archives are very similar
but do not have precisely the same posts; I can make the raw stuff
available if you want - maybe you don't want]
In case you reply - do so to [email protected]

[Btw - if others have old archives, I'd be happy to get a copy.
Both mailing lists and old (pre 0.99) sources and binaries.
Still searching libc sources earlier than libc 4.3.]

Dunno about a tarball, but the oldest linux list archive I know of is the one
the kansas city people have.
http://www.kclug.org/old_archives/linux-activists/
If you get a tarball of it, I'd appreciate a copy myself. :)

Thats about what I have of linux-activists, maybe a bit more

Yes. In fact that line referred to my copy of your archive.
I just checked the kclug archive that was mentioned, and it has
two things: a copy of your archive and a copy of Ted's archive,
nothing new.
kclug/linux-activists/Volume6/digest and
kclug/linux-activists/Volume6/digest217 are duplicates.
