I forgot to finish checking the dates before I sent it. I know the "5 Jan 1991" date is wrong. I got the other date here... http://ftp.cdut.edu.cn/pub2/linux/kernel/history/Master.html ...but I don't know that those dates are right either. Unfortunately, Linus didn't date all of his early release notes. Mike
