Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+config VT
+ bool "Virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
+ select INPUT
+ default y if !VIOCONS
+ ---help---
+ If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
+ display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
+ can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
+ one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
+ virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
+ one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
+ an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
+ is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
+
+ The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
+ properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
+ man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
+ character sequences that can be used to change those properties
+ directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
+ the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
+ with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
+
+ You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
+ of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
+ embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
+ memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
+ or network connection.
+
+ If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
+ shiny Linux system :-)
+
+config VT_CONSOLE
+ bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
+ depends on VT
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
+ and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
+ answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
+ a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
+ common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
+ the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
+ you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
+
+ If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
+ terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
+ that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
+ would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
+ bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
+ loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
+
+ If unsure, say Y.

+config SERIAL_NONSTANDARD

+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
+ which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
+ This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
+ Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
+ serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
+ connections.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about non-standard serial boards.
+
+ Most people can say N here.

+ (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt

+ ---help---
+ If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/nvram
+ with major number 10 and minor number 144 using mknod ("man mknod"),
+ you get read and write access to the extra bytes of non-volatile
+ memory in the real time clock (RTC), which is contained in every PC
+ and most Ataris. The actual number of bytes varies, depending on the
+ nvram in the system, but is usually 114 (128-14 for the RTC).
+
+ This memory is conventionally called "CMOS RAM" on PCs and "NVRAM"
+ on Ataris. /dev/nvram may be used to view settings there, or to
+ change them (with some utility). It could also be used to frequently
+ save a few bits of very important data that may not be lost over
+ power-off and for which writing to disk is too insecure. Note
+ however that most NVRAM space in a PC belongs to the BIOS and you
+ should NEVER idly tamper with it. See Ralf Brown's interrupt list
+ for a guide to the use of CMOS bytes by your BIOS.
+
+ On Atari machines, /dev/nvram is always configured and does not need
+ to be selected.
