Hi,

Does anybody happen to have (and is willing to share) a tarball containing archives of this list going back well into the 90's? I am, shall we say, researching the activities of certain companies (when I should really be working on driver books) and something greppable would be most helpful.

Thanks,

jon

Jonathan,

But you'll have to use google to search it.

I tend to collect such things, but lost early stuff in disk crashes. There is here

- stuff from ftp://ftp.uwsg.iu.edu/linux/mail.archive/kernel/ 1 Mar 1996 - now.

[you can ftp that yourself, I suppose]

- stuff from linuxwww.db.erau.edu
96.06-99.09.

- linux-activists list archive
Very fragmentary, Oct 1991 to Oct 1993.
Also Oct 1993 to Jul 1995.
Also Jan 1992 to Dec 1993.

- linux-kernel
Jul 1995 to Apr 1996.

[lots of garbage in various different formats and from various sources; very time consuming to sort out; different archives are very similar but do not have precisely the same posts; I can make the raw stuff available if you want - maybe you don't want]

In case you reply - do so to [email protected]

[Btw - if others have old archives, I'd be happy to get a copy. Both mailing lists and old (pre 0.99) sources and binaries. Still searching libc sources earlier than libc 4.3.]

Dunno about a tarball, but the oldest linux list archive I know of is the one the kansas city people have.

If you get a tarball of it, I'd appreciate a copy myself. :)
