Funny you should ask......
(Sorry for the late reply, I've been on vacation. Just catching up on 
old emails.)

One of the books I took with me on vacation was "Installing and 
Configuring Slackware Linux". This book is 5 years old and refers to 
version 7, but still should be applicable to the latest version.

As I briefly saw someone else mention, have you tried the floppy drive 
install? If I remember correctly you will need around 30 floppies.

I could help you out with any version from v7.1 on up, I have all of 
them sitting on my Linux server.
