You could use VMware, install Slackware under VMware, and use VMware's
screenshot functionality to take a few happy snaps.

VMware have (or used to have) a 30 day trial version.

http://www.vmware.com/download/workstation.html

They have Linux and Windows binaries for download.

Or better use qemu ( qemu.org ) which is free (GPL)

Even nicer is to use qemu and then use vnc2swf to record a shockwave
movie of the install process

Cheers, Eric

It depends... if you'd like screenshots of installation scripts, just run
them as root under console but be carefull (you can damage something).

If you need boot screen that appear after switching on the computer use
VMware as mentioned in other post.

Thanks for all the answers. I already have qemu compiled and installed, and
it works real nice.

I made all mine by running them as root in an xterm and using the GIMP
to get screenshots. You can find 'em all here.
