dear guys:
I'am a fan in computer operating system design, I'd like to start with linux-0.01 ,the initial version of linux , for scratching my own one ,but How to compile linux-0.01 and how to make it run? I'm looking forward to hear from U all !!
Thanks!!

The topic got a couple of the old brain cells twitching.

In a nutshell, you can't...at least not without some serious hassle.

Highlights some of the problems, I imagine there'd be a few more to go along with it.

I wouldn't install Linux-0.01 on my box - first of all, it'll be not easy to install and secondly: it's much too risky!
There are still many bugs in this code, and not many platforms and harddrives are supported. It can happen that it crashes your harddrive...

The only reason that I'm going to compile linux-0.01 and make it run is that its code is comparatively small in scale and I think it may be simple to understand in learning OS mechanism relatively than the latter versions such as 1.0,2.0 etc.

I've got the post at the URL ,http://osnews.com/phorum/read.php? f=2&i=296&t=296 , supplied by Curufir, thanks first, and read it.
From this article, I'v got that the linux-0.01 may be compiled in the Minix os and I followed it, while compiling , the cc compiler Minix supplied has incompatible options that the Makefile directed, and no result of the compiling .

Is there anyone has the experience in compiling linux-0.01 and make it run ,I'm very appreciated of hearing from U !
Thanks !

Alright, you want to learn OS Design with Linux-0.01.
So why don't you just read the source without installing it?

Installing it works like this i think:

mkefs /dev/disk
cp linuxkernel /dev/disk

anyway, you don't learn from running 0.0.1
I suggest you start making your own kernel, that's a lot more fun than improving linux 0.0.01
Take a look at other bootsectors and oses (eduos,gazos,simpleos,tinyos)

but, where can I get the oses of eduos,gazos,simpleos,tinyos ??

search using google.
