I don't seem to have a /usr/src/Makefile - did I miss a tarball?

Well, that's debatable - since my LCIII has not 'net connection, and my
PowerMac only has a 14.4 modem.  Downloading from the net is somewhat
complex for me right now.

Well my LCIII shouls be very slightly faster.

Ahh... where do I get that from, then?  And what was sys.tar.gz (expanded
to /usr/src/sys).
