zavg/linux-0.01 — reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a working setup for this historic Linux 0.01 source tree so I can actually compile it and try it without having to understand old kernel build systems.

Please keep the original code as untouched as possible. If modern machines need helper scripts, patches, or an old compiler environment, add that in a clean way and explain what you changed. I want a simple command that builds the kernel, and if it is realistic, another simple command that starts it in an emulator so I can see it boot or at least confirm it runs.

Also add a short README for normal people that explains what this repo is, what the folders are for, what tools are needed, and the exact steps to build it from a fresh checkout. Look up current docs online if you need to, but focus on making this historical release easy to explore rather than turning it into a modern Linux project.
