Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

+ Java(tm) Binary Kernel Support for Linux v1.03
+ ----------------------------------------------
+
+Linux beats them ALL! While all other OS's are TALKING about direct
+support of Java Binaries in the OS, Linux is doing it!
+
+You can execute Java applications and Java Applets just like any
+other program after you have done the following:
+
+1) You MUST FIRST install the Java Developers Kit for Linux.
+ The Java on Linux HOWTO gives the details on getting and
+ installing this. This HOWTO can be found at:
+
+ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Java-HOWTO
+
+ You should also set up a reasonable CLASSPATH environment
+ variable to use Java applications that make use of any
+ nonstandard classes (not included in the same directory
+ as the application itself).
+
+2) You have to compile BINFMT_MISC either as a module or into
+ the kernel (CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC) and set it up properly.
+ If you choose to compile it as a module, you will have
+ to insert it manually with modprobe/insmod, as kmod
+ can not easily be supported with binfmt_misc.
+ Read the file 'binfmt_misc.txt' in this directory to know
+ more about the configuration process.
+
+3) Add the following configuration items to binfmt_misc
+ (you should really have read binfmt_misc.txt now):
+ support for Java applications:
+ ':Java:M::\xca\xfe\xba\xbe::/usr/local/bin/javawrapper:'
+ support for executable Jar files:
+ ':ExecutableJAR:E::jar::/usr/local/bin/jarwrapper:'
+ support for Java Applets:
+ ':Applet:E::html::/usr/bin/appletviewer:'
+ or the following, if you want to be more selective:
+ ':Applet:M::<!--applet::/usr/bin/appletviewer:'
+
+ Of cause you have to fix the path names. Given path/file names in this
+ document match the Debian 2.1 system. (i.e. jdk installed in /usr,
+ custom wrappers from this document in /usr/local)
+
+ Note, that for the more selective applet support you have to modify
+ existing html-files to contain <!--applet--> in the first line
+ ('<' has to be the first character!) to let this work!
+
+ For the compiled Java programs you need a wrapper script like the
+ following (this is because Java is broken in case of the filename
+ handling), again fix the path names, both in the script and in the
+ above given configuration string.
+
+ You, too, need the little program after the script. Compile like
+ gcc -O2 -o javaclassname javaclassname.c
+ and stick it to /usr/local/bin.
+
+ Both the javawrapper shellscript and the javaclassname program
+ were supplied by Colin J. Watson <cjw44@cam.ac.uk>.

+
+Now simply chmod +x the .class, .jar and/or .html files you want to execute.
+To add a Java program to your path best put a symbolic link to the main
+.class file into /usr/bin (or another place you like) omitting the .class
+extension. The directory containing the original .class file will be
+added to your CLASSPATH during execution.
+
+
+To test your new setup, enter in the following simple Java app, and name
+it "HelloWorld.java":
+
+ class HelloWorld {
+ public static void main(String args[]) {
+ System.out.println("Hello World!");
+ }
+ }
+
+Now compile the application with:
+ javac HelloWorld.java
+
+Set the executable permissions of the binary file, with:
+ chmod 755 HelloWorld.class
+
+And then execute it:
+ ./HelloWorld.class
+
+
+To execute Java Jar files, simple chmod the *.jar files to include
+the execution bit, then just do
+ ./Application.jar
+
+
+To execute Java Applets, simple chmod the *.html files to include
+the execution bit, then just do
+ ./Applet.html
