No, in 9.0 (ONLY) the CD was full, so the kernel-sources were moved to
CD2 (the "live/extra" one) and pasture even was moved to CD4 (the latter,
extra on CD-2 and pasture on 4 is still true in 9.1, but now kde(i) and
gnome have been moved to CD-2 (and k back to 1).

He first has to get the kernel-sources package from any Slackware mirror.
For 9.0 I would suggest to get the one in "slackware-9.0/patches/packages"
as that one is newer then the distributed one (2.4.21, to be exact):

The last two I meant (although getting the compiler kernel and modules might
not be a bad idea either).
PS: it is possible to get the 9.1 (2.4.22) kernel (and optional sources) and
install them under 9.0 (I'm running it here too).
