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.
