Concerning slackware in gerneral, in your question you said 9.0 but 9.1 is
the same i dont quite understand why you are concerned that /usr/src/linux
does not exsist and i am quite sure the k series is always on cd1 but
thats besides the point here.

To answer your question. You can use 'installpkg'

Place your cd in the cdrom.
cd /
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
installpkg /mnt/cdrom/slackware/k/kernel-source-2.4.20-noarch-5.tgz

The above installs whats needed into /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 and creates a
symlink /usr/src/linux which points to linux-2.4.20 .

I would like to point you to 'man installpkg' as if you do read the manual
you will see that installpkg has some options, if you choose the correct
option namely "-menu" you will then recognise the program installpkg as
you "would have" used it before but did not realise. Try it then you will
see what i mean.
