Linux 0.0.1
Has anyone had any experience compiling Linux 0.0.1? Is there anyway to compile it on a modern linux machine (i.e. Slackware 9)? Thanks.

RE:Linux 0.0.1
Yep,
I have compiled Linux 0.0.1 but only after I modified the source a lot. The problem is,
1) new GCC versions don't support the old linux source code (Especially that inline assembly is incompatible with the new standards). You also need to modify the makefile to remove obsoleted options.
2) It was written in a minix env and the build tool utilises it.
Frankly speaking, after the whole experience I would say its not worth the effort trying to modify 0.0.1 just to get it compiled and see it run. There are many amateur projects far better then 0.0.1 or you might want to start with linux 1.0 or any subsequent versions. But if you are out to experience the evolution of linux, Good Luck
