Subject: [COFF] Building OS from source in the olden days
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 10:11:18 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201110231118.GW99027@eureka.lemis.com> (raw)
I'm currently reviewing a paper about Unix and Linux, and I made the
comment that in the olden days the normal way to build an OS image for
a big computer was from source. Now I've been asked for a reference,
and I can't find one! Can anybody help?
