Are you trying to install slackware without downloading everything ?
I did and here is how to get Slackware to install from
a partial set of a distribution.
Slackware install expects to find an exact tree of all *.tgz files.
I wanted a stripped down install of Slackware3.6.0 to a 'small system'.
I've cloned the Slackware3.6.0 tree (A,D,K,N) and downloaded all the *.tgz files
that I need to set up am IP-MASQuerade. The *.tgz files that I didn't
need were 'faked' by copying the smallest *.tgz. e.g. If I didn't need
blahblah.tgz 26,000,000 bytes, I copied the smallest existing .tgz to
blahblah.tgz. Slackware INSTALL checks every *.tgz and pauses if the
file is corrupted or missing. This way it finds a 'valid' blahblah.tgz,
although it isn't the specific file. I then edit the TAGFILEs and the install
runs to completion after selecting A,D,K,N.
Just clone the tree structure, the only multiple folders are
'A' & 'N' (in slackware3.6.0, I think).
