Hello

I am a newbie.

Is it possible to find the linux code of earlier versions like
0.1,0.2,...1.0, 1.1...?

Please advise. Thank you.

Is there a way to download them onto my computer? Or I will have to
download each file separately?

Elixir is just for browsing and cross referencing. Maybe you can recursively curl or wget it
but its not worth it. Old linux code is hosted here: https://github.com/bootlin/linux-history
This is where elixir fetches it from. This has all the old tags. 
You can clone and locally checkout older versions.

  I'm confused ... recently, you were asking people on this list to
spoon-feed you the most basic fundamentals of *modern* Linux; now,
you're suddenly interested in versions that are more than 30 years old
and have absolutely no value beyond being historical curiosities.

  What value do you plan on getting out of examining Linux 0.99? How
do you think this will enable you to get a handle on modern Linux,
with its plethora of drivers for devices that did not even exist back
then?

  As before, a simple online search would have told you where to look.
I'm starting to think this entire list is being trolled.

I did an online Google search but couldn't get much. Tried ChatGPT too, but
couldn't get much help.

The Art of Linux kernel design by Yang is based on v0.1 kernel version and
is an very interesting read.

That said, look at older kernel as an suplimantary read only. Only way to
learn is to get down and do it which is much easier in morden kernel as
tool chain to build them is available.

Notable mention and must reads...
1. Linux device driver by Greg, Corbet
2. Understanding the Linux kernel by Bovet
3. Linux kernel architecture by Wolfgang

I am sure you must have heard of them, there are few more and visit to
local library or book store would help.

Thanks

I could see that the tag jumps from 0.12 to 0.95a. Nothing in between. Rest
all is good.

Note that ChatGPT is *NOT*, repeat *NOT* a reliable source of information,
because it has no concept of "correctness" or "accuracy" of the text that it
has ingested..
