I have CDs of most older versions (starting just before 1.0). If anybody *really* wants these, I'll mount the CD and they can download them (over a 33.6 kb/s modem; 600 MB will take about 40 hours, so you'll want to pick carefully). > I ask because we are trying to build a kernel for a package called the > "Stoney Brook Video Server".

You really need to fix the header file problems.

Yes. Let's see the error messages (if they're copious, just where they start).
