Hi friends, I'm an UG student. I'm very much interested in linux and i am
well versed with the theoritical basics of OS. I also am doing a course on
UNIX. So i thought it would high time to make my hands dirty on kernel
codes. I did not want to read very latest linux sources as they would be
very advanced for me. I downloaded linux kernel 0.11 from oldlinux.org. I
have the source with me but is there any way i can compile the code and
install in my system and see how it works.
Compilation should work but you probably need an older version of gcc
(2.95 may be enough). I suspect 0.11 will not compile otherwise.
I think that the newer kernels are _better_ organised for readability
than the older ones. Though the source size has increased, it is well
structured and there are many guides on the net on how to go about
reading the code.
Of course, it is _not_ a toy kernel anymore. This means that there
are many aspects of the kernel that are advanced as compared with
0.11 which is a much simpler kernel.
Regards,
Kapil.
