Fantastic! who is the maintainer for the 0.x kernel series these days? I
thought that 2.0 was Dave W., 2.2 was Alan, 2.4 Linus, so now we have to
find people for 1.2 and finally get 1.2.14 released, man, how I wanted one
with the dynamic PPP code in back in those days... 8)

Ehh..

Mikulas, do you want to be the official maintainer for the 0.01.xxx
series?

Note that much of the maintenance work is probably just to reproduce and
make all the user-level etc infrastructure available..

If that helps, I still have a LST 1.8 distribution here with kernel 1.0.9,
gcc 2.5.something, libc 4.whatever and miscellaneous sources. The trouble
is, they don't work on my hardware any more. They do work under VMware
though. ;)

The installer warns you that 'installing all packages can take a LOT of
space, if you also install all sources you must have at least 100MB of
harddisk space available.'.  Gosh ...

One other interesting thing is that LST seems to have _translated_ all
1.0.9 kernel messages into German. THAT looks weird ...
