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. -- Doug
