No, you don't need any others, unless you want source for things like system applications as well. > How should I combine and unpack them once I've got them? > (or is there a simpler way of doing this, with sysinstall...) # cat ssys.* | tar tzvf - # cat ssys.* | tar xzvf - (The first one will show you what will happen when you extract them. The second will actually do it, once you are satisfied the right files will end up in the right place!)
