This suggests to me that the stated kernel tarballs are missing...so
if you can cross off the ones that never existed, it'd be appreciated.

> 0.01

=> 0.02 through 0.09

> 0.10
> 0.11
> 0.12

=> Linus jumped the kernel version numbers at this point...

> 0.95
> 0.95a

=> 0.96

> 0.96a (plus patches 2, 3 and 4)
> 0.96b (plus patches 1 and 2)
> 0.96c (plus patches 1 and 2)
> 0.96c+

> 0.97

=> 0.98*

=> 0.99.14

> 0.99.15

=> Did 0.99.16 get renamed 1.0 ?

> 1.0 (plus patches 1 through 9)

=> 1.1
=> 1.1.0 through 1.1.12

> 1.1.13

=> 1.1.14 through 1.1.22

> 1.1.23

=> 1.1.24 through 1.1.28

=> 1.1.30 through 1.1.32

=> 1.1.34

=> 1.1.72

> 1.1.73 1.1.74 1.1.75 1.1.76

=> 1.1.77

> 1.1.78 through 1.1.95
> 1.2.0 through 1.2.13
> 1.3.0

=> 1.3.1

> 1.3.2 through 1.3.100
> pre2.0.1 through pre2.0.14
> 2.0
> 2.0.1 through 2.0.36
> 2.1.0 through 2.1.24

=> 2.1.25 and 2.1.26

> 2.1.27 through 2.1.129

Also, of course, kernels post 2.0.36 and 2.1.129 hadn't appeared when
the original list was posted, so can be ignored for the purposes of
this message...

Best wishes from Riley.
