so if Mr. Trvoald is to define/set a root for the whole family of linux kernels, a root that's not rooted on Minix, what version of linux would he use?
linux-0.1? can it really boots, compiles and install the newer linux kernels? is this inheritence lost already as the kernel evolved?
He used Minix (Andrew Tannenbaum) to bootstrap Linux. Eventually, he got to the point where the kernel could bootstrap and, once he had some tools, went from there. The rest, as they say, is history.
