OLD stuff

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.free-online.co.uk>]

For those who know about this project... I have managed to boot my 2Mb
386sx20 laptop to linux using kernel version 1.2.11, and a selection of
files from a variety of old disks and such lying around the house.

However, I have a million and one problems, eg I get 'bdflush not
running' errors ALL THE TIME!!! and also kernel 1.2.13 won't boot (seems
to be compiled for a 486), and I can't seem to get it to recompile, due
to about a thousand errors.

Anyway, if anyone knows of a list of files needed to boot a machine, and
login, I would be very greatful, and even better, if you know of any
really old distributions (kernel 1.1.x - 1.2.x) which fit on not too
many floppies, it would also be greatly appreciated.

Cheers then,

Craig
