If you didn't install them the first time, then you have to do it manually. Luckily, it's not hard to do manually. I'm assuming you're installing the kernel source (the ssys.* archives). Adjust filenames as necessary. su to root. get all the archives in one place (mounting/copying floppies as necessary) run 'cat ssys.* | tar tzf - | more' to see where it will go cd to proper directory run 'cat ssys.* | tar xzf -' Hope this helps.
