Kernel 2.4.7 Source Code Documentation

Kernel 2.4.7 Source Code Documentation

[Paul G. Allen]

I am attempting to get my slow UP PIII 800 here at work to parse the 2.4.7 source and annotate it so that I can put it up on my other web server. When it is
done, I will upload it to the server and it should be available at this URL:

http://www.randomlogic.com/kernel/

This may or may not happen tonight since this machine is nowhere near as fast as my K7 at home and the K7 takes a few hours to do it all, but the U/L bandwidth
is much better here (DS3 compared to cable). I do expect to have it up before the weekend.

(NOTE: I compared kernel compile times between the two, no official numbers, just compiling on both machines. I started the PIII 800 about 1 min before the K7
Thunder. The K7 Thunder was done with make dep, bzImage, modules, and modules_install before the PIII was 50% complete with bzImage. The K7 was running 2
SETI@Home sessions as well as compiling, the PIII was doing nothing else.)

I plan to update the documentation with every stable kernel release. (So please, don't crank them out too fast, I'd hate to spend my life U/L 1GB+ of HTML every
other day!! ;-)

A slight change in plans:

www.randomlogic.com was out of disk space, so I now have a second site at http://www2.randomlogic.com. I am uploading the tar now and will uncompress the HTML
to:

http://www2.randomlogic.com/linuxkernel/

BIG NOTE READ THIS:


Anyone wishing to mirror this can download it from here:

http://www.randomlogic.com/files/linux-2.4.7_html.tar.gz

The file is in the neighborhood of 150MB and uncompressed is ~1GB. You have been forewarned. Please, no Wget on www2.randomlogic.com. :/

I'm still hoping for a better place to put it, but we'll see.

I've also placed a link to it on www.randomlogic.com. (no, it's not up yet, but soon, about 40MB more to U/L :)

Great. I'll change the link on the Random Logic main web site and add that URL as a mirror.

OK, it's all up and working. If anyone else wants to mirror, let me know the URL and I'll add it to the Random Logic web site at
www.randomlogic.com/kernel.html.

NP, will do.

I might as well take this opportunity to comment on my own sight.

Apparently, someone was quick to take advantage of a recently announced
exploit and defaced www2.randomlogic.com (as I'm sure some of you have
noticed). The exploit has been fixed, of course, but they were a little
faster than the server owner (hey, it happens occasionally :), that
owner not being me.

Apparently, either they don't like Linux, or maybe they thought they had
to prove a point because of my sig. Whatever, who cares.

Anyway, I'll fix it soon enough.
