Dear fellow users! I am a newbie, but a week ago enthusiacstically compiled my first kernel. that's amazing. the thing is, it's a process so complex that I fear to touch the makefiles or play with them. I wanted to ask, whether somebody can recommend me an old kernel that have some basic capabilities, but is not too large. (I reognize the fact that compiling a kernel of an OS shouldn't be for newbies, and Linux has powerful and as much simple as posible tools to do so. )
so, I basicallly have: AMD k6 200MHZ, 32 meg ram, 6.4meg HD with 900M unpartitioned space for experimenting... I guees I can build&use that kernel on the same EXT2 partition as my regular kernel is, but I need a kernel with EXT2 support, and I heard that the earliest ones used minix fs. a URL with old debian distributions (0.9.., 1.1..) will be helpful, so that I can install some tools for playing around. thanks in advance, guys!
