Downloaded 2.1.X kernels trees from archive sites (http://www.linuxhq.com/). Then check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes which tells you what versions of what you need, and how to find out which you have. 2.1.45 said I needed: - Kernel modules modutils-970104 - Gnu C 2.7.2.1 - Binutils 2.7.0.3 - Linux C Library 5.4.17 - Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.8.5 - Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.1 - Procps 1.01 - SysVinit 2.69 - Mount 2.5p - Net-tools 1.32-alpha - Kbd 0.91 >From Debian 1.3, I needed: binutils_2.8.1-2.deb libbfd2.8.1_2.8.1-2.deb libc6_2.0.4-1.deb mount_2.6g-2.deb Actually, binutils_2.8.1-2.deb wasn't quite enough, so I followed instructions to download and install the required version in the Changes file. I successfully compiled many 2.1.X versions after this.
