Is there a way to download them onto my computer? Or I will have to download each file separately?

This link does not have all the earlier versions.

Maybe you can recursively curl or wget it but its not worth it. Old linux code is hosted here: https://github.com/bootlin/linux-history This is where elixir fetches it from. This has all the old tags. You can clone and locally checkout older versions.

I can't see versions earlier than 2.6 on the link ( https://github.com/bootlin/linux-history)

Please advise. Thank you.
I'm confused ... recently, you were asking people on this list to spoon-feed you the most basic fundamentals of *modern* Linux; now, you're suddenly interested in versions that are more than 30 years old and have absolutely no value beyond being historical curiosities. What value do you plan on getting out of examining Linux 0.99? How do you think this will enable you to get a handle on modern Linux, with its plethora of drivers for devices that did not even exist back then? As before, a simple online search would have told you where to look. I'm starting to think this entire list is being trolled. rday

I did an online Google search but couldn't get much. Tried ChatGPT too, but couldn't get much help.

Note that ChatGPT is *NOT*, repeat *NOT* a reliable source of information, because it has no concept of "correctness" or "accuracy" of the text that it has ingested..

The Art of Linux kernel design by Yang is based on v0.1 kernel version and is an very interesting read. That said, look at older kernel as an suplimantary read only. Only way to learn is to get down and do it which is much easier in morden kernel as tool chain to build them is available. Notable mention and must reads... 1. Linux device driver by Greg, Corbet 2. Understanding the Linux kernel by Bovet 3. Linux kernel architecture by Wolfgang I am sure you must have heard of them, there are few more and visit to local library or book store would help. Thanks
