    yeh unpack the files

    for i in ./*gz; do; /use/freeware/bin/tar -zxvf $i; done; swmgr -f .

    that uncompressed and untars your files then runs software manager with
    teh source set as the current working dir (where you extracted ya tar's
    to).

    then click custom

    it will select the right bits by default. You may with to tweek the
    selections.

    thats all there is to it. just clock go ;-)
