17. History
I have derived this (in 2001) from the HOWTO of the same name by
Laurie Tischler, dated 1997. While I have kept all of the information
from that original document (where it is still useful), I have
rewritten the presentation entirely and have added a lot of other
information. The original HOWTO's primary purpose was to document
LKM parameters.
The original HOWTO was first released (Release 1.0) June 20, 1996,
with a second release (1.1) October 20, 1996.
The first release of Bryan's rewrite was in June 2001.
