Wouldn’t know. Haven’t had time to play with the old stuff since a try to get ELKS booting from virtual HDD without using boot floppy. So I put my computer archeology efforts down for some time. But not forever. 🙂

Linux 0.11 is very runnable as it still has boot/root diskette images.. and it is what my image is. I’ve tried to boot a 0.10 kernel and I just get sudden reboots… 😐

LibC is already in the archive.

You might just check the whole directory in case I missed something else: http://mirrors.kernel.org/oldlinux/Linux.old/Linux-0.11/

You might be able to run it on 0.11. I read somewhere that Linus used to cross-compile gcc (for Linux) on Minix. Just took a peek at “Old Linux” archive and there it is: http://mirrors.kernel.org/oldlinux/Linux.old/Linux-0.11/binaries/compilers/gccbin.tar.Z. The archive seems to include as and ld, so it might actually work. 🙂

Btw, there is also gcc binary for 0.10. 😉

Glad you’ve liked it! I’ve spent way too many hours on it.. lol

It is kind of funny what came out of a challenge to run Netware on Qemu then into being able to run Xenix on modern machines via emulation….!

I just wish I’d been more active with it….

There is a tweaked version of Minix386 that’ll boot on Qemu/Bochs so the original gcc 1.40 toolchain would be available…

Btw, I’ve been reading your blog for a year or two and finally decided to drop a comment. Very interesting stuff you got here. 😉
