Hi,
If you use a linux kernel greater then 2.6.14 then you should be able 
to do something like this (you might need to use the numerical ip 
address)
sudo mount -t 9p sources.cs.bell-labs.com /mnt/9
then cd /mnt/9/plan9/sys/src has the source code of the system with the 
kernel code in 9

or download and install inferno and do mount -A 
tcp!sources.cs.bell-labs.com!9fs /n/remote in a shell from within 
inferno
