I have some current kernel code that I would like to compare to an implementation of several years ago.
When I try to compile the old kernel, I get an error message telling me that my C compiler is too new (!).
So, I have some old CDs, and can install an old Redhat (v9) or Fedora (v1 or v2) but I realize that there were many updates to all of these.
Needless to say, I dont find any updates left on the WEB for these old distributions.
I havent followed what people selling CDs have. Does anyone sell OLD distributions including the updates?
Im sure I can get along without the updates (unless they turn out to be to something significant) as this will all be done behind a good firewall, but Im interested in knowing whats available. Perhaps in the future I should copy all the updates to a DVD before they go away,-- just in case.
