I could tell you how to install debian by manually repeating the steps
the installer does. But I am not sure that is possible in slackware.
Does slackware have a talking, live distro? Something like grml for
debian? With debian, what you would do is boot from a grml CD or thumb
drive, start speech, partition the hard drive, install a base system
(with debian this is done via debootstrap), install a kernel, install
grub and make sure it finds your kernel. You're done. So there are 2
things you'd have to find the equivalent of, a live distro like grml and
the base system installer like debootstrap. If you can find those 2
things, you're probably good.
Another thing you might investigate are auto-installers for slackware.
For debian, there is this tool called fai (stands for fully automatic
installer). I don't know if there is a slack equivalent of that either.

Wouldn't it be possible to use a technique similar to that used to install Gentoo? You could enter into a distro already installed on your machine, then take the contents of the installation image and put each piece of software in its own place. More exactly, if you know a little of shell script, you could start reading the installer source code and manually reproduce what it does.
