Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer

[John G Heim]

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.

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.
