Slackware 1.2 started using the 1.0.0 Linux kernel, but it might compile on some versions before or shortly after that. On newer Linux distributions you won't be able to compile the older kernels, too many things have changed.

You don't have to create this one :) 2) Should be solved using the image mentioned in 1) Have fun! Hi,

The oldest source I have for XFree86 is 2.1 and that's from somewhere in 1994. :)
