What you do with slackware after getting it up and speaking is to run
the setup program on disc1 of the set or on the dvd. The setup program
itself runs scripts like setup.1 and setup.2 ..., setup.7 if I remember
correctly is for setting up network connections.

Subject: Re: Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer
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.
