how to compile the 0.01 version of kernel

There might be other linux 0.01 variants, I can't remember which one is the
most stable.  If that version doesn't work, then try others.

I tried to create a similar project and it is tough work, but the Linux 0.01
code itself is not that complicated. If I remember it ranged in size of
about 15,000 lines of code.  That was only the kernel.  I had issues with
trying to get other software to work like VI, Bash, etc.
