<P align=justify>There is a complete set of kernels from kernel 0.99.14 to

appear to no longer exist. Such kernels have an entry in the relevant

<P align=justify><B>PLEASE NOTE:</B> All kernels in these lists are
referenced in <A href="http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/">bzip2</A> format
where that is available, in <A href="http://www.gzip.org/">gzip</A> format
where that is available and bzip2 format is not, and in the original UNIX
compress format where neither is available. Please ensure that you have
the relevant tool available on your system before downloading.</P>
