Might not he simply changeth to /usr/src/share (if he indeed hath such) and typest make install as root? Possibly. Although I have no idea whether that will actually work or not. Or if it will provide the complete contents of /usr/share -- better to spend some time now and be sure of the result than find things mysteriously broken someway down the line. Hmmm... one point I should comment on: I said to grab the system sources by cvsup(1), but you could also just install them from the release CD.
