[Comp-hist-devel] Bootstrap family tree

[Lars B. <la...@no...>]

I have an idea for an additional type of information to collect:
which operating system was used to develop and bootstrap another
operating system.

For example, the Linux 0.01 entry should maybe look like this:

        Linux 0.01
          Type: OS
          Date: 1991 Sep 17
          Reference: Linux Kernel Version History
          Influenced by: Minix 1.2
          Bootstrapped on: Minix 1.2
          Ran on:
            Intel 80386 SX
            Intel 80386 DX
            Intel 80386 SL


Or, the UNICS entry:

        Uniplexed Information and Computing Service 
          Type: OS 
          Date: 1969 Sep 
          Reference: Quarter Century of UNIX by Peter Salus, pg 43
          Status: research
          Influenced by: The Multics Project 
          Bootstrapped on: GECOS <some version>
          Runs on: The Digital Equipment Corporation
                   Programmed Data Processor, model 7

This is a good idea, and actually it even has potential for hardware, because some computers had to be booted from another - machines like the Xerox Alto, and the Cray T3e, which had to be booted from an attached Cray C90.
Scott, what do you think?

Sounds great. I'll look into it after all the DBM stuff is sorted 
out.
