Linux kernel release 1.0
These are the release notes for linux version 1.0. Read them carefully,
-as they tell you what's new, explain how to install the kernel, and what
-to do if something goes wrong.
+as they tell you what this is all about, explain how to install the
+kernel, and what to do if something goes wrong.
+
+WHAT IS LINUX?
+
+ Linux is a Unix clone for 386/486-based PCs written from scratch by
+ Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers
+ across the Net. It aims towards POSIX compliance.
+
+ It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged
+ Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
+ demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
+ management and TCP/IP networking.
+
+ It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the
+ accompanying COPYING file for more details.
INSTALLING the kernel:
+ - If you install the full sources, do a
+
+ cd /usr/src
+ tar xvf linux-1.0.tar
+
+ to get it all put in place.
+
- if you install by patching, you need a *clean* 0.99.15 source tree,
which presumably exists in /usr/src/linux. If so, to get the kernel
patched, just do a
or xxx.orig), and make sure that there are no failed patches (xxx# or
xxx.rej).
- - If you install the full sources, do a
-
- cd /usr/src
- tar xvf linux-1.0.tar
-
- to get it all put in place.
-
- make sure your /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm directories
are just symlinks to the kernel sources:
/bin/sh (in that order), so hopefully one of those is correct.
NOTES on "make config":
+ - having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can
+ under some circumstances lead to problems: probing for a
+ nonexistent controller card may confuse your other controllers
- compiling the kernel with "-m486" for a number of 486-specific
will result in a kernel that still works on a 386: it may be
slightly larger and possibly slower by an insignificant amount,
COMPILING the kernel:
- - make sure you have gcc-2.4.5 or newer available with g++. It seems
- older gcc versions can have problems compiling linux 0.99.10 and
- newer versions. If you upgrade, remember to get the new binutils
- package too (for as/ld/nm and company)
+ - make sure you have gcc-2.4.5 or newer available. It seems older gcc
+ versions can have problems compiling newer versions of linux. If you
+ upgrade your compiler, remember to get the new binutils package too
+ (for as/ld/nm and company)
- do a "make zImage" to create a compressed kernel image. If you want
to make a bootdisk (without root filesystem or lilo), insert a floppy
For some, this is on a floppy disk, in which case you can "cp
/usr/src/linux/zImage /dev/fd0" to make a bootable floppy.
- If you boot Linux from the hard drive, chances are you use LILO uses
- the kernel image as specified in the file /etc/lilo/config. The
- kernel image file is usually /vmlinux, or /Image, or /etc/Image. To
- use the new kernel, copy the new image over the old one (save a
- backup of the original!). Then, you MUST REINSTALL LILO!! If you
- don't, you won't be able to boot the new kernel image.
+ If you boot Linux from the hard drive, chances are you use LILO which
+ uses the kernel image as specified in the file /etc/lilo/config. The
+ kernel image file is usually /vmlinuz, or /zImage, or /etc/zImage.
+ To use the new kernel, copy the new image over the old one (save a
+ backup of the original!). Then, you MUST RERUN LILO to update the
+ loading map!! If you don't, you won't be able to boot the new kernel
+ image.
Reinstalling LILO is usually a matter of running /etc/lilo/install.
You may wish to edit /etc/lilo/config to specify an entry for your
projects / history.git / commitdiff
