I am always looking for missing bits, but disks were small in those days, and very little survives.
Probably old CDs (or floppies) are the best chance. [In case anyone has these: I would be interested in old libc sources as well, say libc-4.4 and earlier.]

I found two old CDs which contents is partially Linux. :-)

In particular they contain what seems like a complete archive of linux-activists list starting from November 1991 up to digest 988, Volume #4 from "Wed, 28 Apr 93". Here is an opening message earlier from what Ted quoted himself. :-)

Subject: Reason for this meeting
Linux_activists is a discuss archive of the mailing list about Linux, a free unix-like kernel for 386-AT computers, coming with full source code. It is meant for hackers/computer science students to use, learn and enjoy.

These disks also include SLS 99 p2 and SLS 1.01 distributions by Peter MacDonald <[email protected]>. In particular the following library sources are included:

     47382 Feb 16  1993 libc-4.2-4.3.tar.z
    707527 Feb 16  1993 libc-4.3.tar.z
      9956 Feb 19  1993 libm-4.0.tar.z
    219711 Mar  1  1993 libg++-2.3.tar.z
    158383 Apr  4  1993 libc-4.3.2-4.3.3.tar.z
    843872 Apr  4  1993 libc-4.3.3.tar.z

(no 4.4, I am afraid) and these Linux kernels:

    850885 Dec 13  1992 linux-0.99.tar.Z
     47199 Dec 22  1992 linux-0.99.patch1.Z
     37226 Jan  2  1993 linux-0.99.patch2.Z
    117007 Jan 13  1993 linux-0.99.patch3.Z
     16845 Jan 22  1993 linux-0.99.patch4.Z
     94209 Feb  9  1993 linux-0.99.patch5.Z
     65359 Feb 23  1993 linux-0.99.patch6.Z
    906678 Feb 23  1993 linux-0.99.6.tar.Z
    114894 Mar 13  1993 linux-0.99.patch7.z
    625942 Apr  9  1993 linux-0.99.8.tar.z
     77658 Apr  9  1993 linux-0.99.patch8.z
     70858 Apr 23  1993 linux-0.99.patch9.z
    636243 Apr 23  1993 linux-0.99.9.tar.z

So what of this will be of interest and to whom?

Very good!
Could you temporarily make this stuff available for ftp somewhere?

["This stuff" being the Linux subtrees of these two CDs.]
