What is missing is:

 - v0.02 sources

I think this really is gone. 0.03 was such an improvement on 0.02 that I 
think what happened was that I literally removed 0.02 (hey, it wasn't 
historically interesting at the time!). It's not the first time people 
have wondered about it.

0.03 was the first version where you could actually do things under Linux, 
and I think I could compile etc. I *think* it was released pretty close 
after 0.02, which made 0.02 appear even more flawed and a brown-paper-bag 
release.

Could that version be found anywhere?

 - v0.10 announcement

Hmm. That one would be interesting, since the reason for the 0.03->0.10 
jump was that I was getting so happy with how it was actually working for 
me (ie able to compile itself under itself). But I don't see it, and it's 
not on google in the comp.os.minix archives either, afaik.

Anyone out there keeping an archive of those old posts?  Archival sites 
appear to have a black hole during that period.

 - v0.99.12 announcement

Well, the 0.99.12 announcement is found by google.

In general, google groups (search by date and author, and make the group 
be something like *linux*) is good, I found the above on the first try.

Yeah... Don't know what happened.  I must have found it then because I 
had a file to store it in my data directory, but somehow it was empty.  
Fixed now.
