Huh?
I snagged a copy of that a while back,  and you had your choices of whether 
you wanted install from your HD or diskettes,  and whether you wanted network 
support or not,  but it was just a straight install as far as I can recall,  
no compile or anything remotely resembling that.
I do recall hearing something about them making source available too,  but 
that doesn't seem to be a required way to get it going as far as I can 
remember.
