Adam,

If this is a bootable CD you could probably install it similarly to
installing zipslack on a hard drive. The steps would be basically; boot
from iso, partition the hard drive, mount the hard drive partitions
(/mnt/dist/, /mnt/dist/boot/, /mnt/dist/var/, etc), cp -a the iso's root
directories to the mounted partions, chroot to /mnt/dist, set up lilo.

Slackware's website has more detailed instructions.
