I need a copy of the complete source code of the linux kernal for a report at Uni, but I need it in a form that can be read using windows as I dont have Linux installed on my pc at the min.
You just need a simple Text app that can read unix text files, not DOS ones, iirc.
If you plan to edit it, you should have one of these already, or at least just open it in a linux app.

Any more ideas?
If anyone has the complete source code e-mail me the code at mma439@hotmail.com.
Thanks
It's like 180mb untarred!
Unless you want a zillion emails, that's gonna be rough. However, I'd be glad to host it uncompressed, and then you can download it from me (not very fast upload though). If you are interested in that, let me know.
Then from there, regardless of where you get the source (from me which will be the same 34MB (compressed) file, only uncompressed), you will still need the same app to view it. So it's the viewing app that is giving you the problems, give the link above a try.
