each of the source "components" is just there as chunks of gzipped tar
archives. If you just have a look at the end of install.sh, you'll see
how to unpack your components.

If you have an old "tar", you can get the sources via 
"cat ssys* >> ssys.tgz"
"gzip -cd ssys.tgz | tar xvf -"

PS : if you have problems getting your way through a simple shell
script, you may have a rough time porting the IP stack to a new OS :
good luck !
