Here is an opening message earlier from what Ted quoted himself. :-) [0001] tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Linux_Activists 11/07/91 13:08 (4 lines) Subject: Reason for this meeting Linux_activists is a discuss archive of the mailing list about Linux, a free unix-like kernel for 386-AT computers, coming with full source code. It is meant for hackers/computer science students to use, learn and enjoy. These disks also include SLS 99 p2 and SLS 1.01 distributions by Peter MacDonald . In particular the following library sources are included: 47382 Feb 16 1993 libc-4.2-4.3.tar.z 707527 Feb 16 1993 libc-4.3.tar.z 9956 Feb 19 1993 libm-4.0.tar.z 219711 Mar 1 1993 libg++-2.3.tar.z 158383 Apr 4 1993 libc-4.3.2-4.3.3.tar.z 843872 Apr 4 1993 libc-4.3.3.tar.z (no 4.4, I am afraid) and these Linux kernels: 850885 Dec 13 1992 linux-0.99.tar.Z 47199 Dec 22 1992 linux-0.99.patch1.Z 37226 Jan 2 1993 linux-0.99.patch2.Z 117007 Jan 13 1993 linux-0.99.patch3.Z 16845 Jan 22 1993 linux-0.99.patch4.Z 94209 Feb 9 1993 linux-0.99.patch5.Z 65359 Feb 23 1993 linux-0.99.patch6.Z 906678 Feb 23 1993 linux-0.99.6.tar.Z 114894 Mar 13 1993 linux-0.99.patch7.z 625942 Apr 9 1993 linux-0.99.8.tar.z 77658 Apr 9 1993 linux-0.99.patch8.z 70858 Apr 23 1993 linux-0.99.patch9.z 636243 Apr 23 1993 linux-0.99.9.tar.z So what of this will be of interest and to whom?
