Arthur,
It may take some playing around in the final steps, but slackware
packages are simple tar gzip files with directories relative to root,
and each package has an install script inside the archive. So you
should be able to create a partition for slackware, extract the
files there, and run the scripts. If you use the chroot command
you can "change root" to the target partition and fool linux into
believing it is root. For further inspiration on this, see how the
linuxfromscratch process creates a new linux system in this
manner.
