The installation program is a set of shellscripts contained in this file I think:
ftp://ftp.kpn.be/pub/linux/slackware...nux/initrd.img
The image is gzipped. Gunzip the image and mount it. I think the filesystemtype is ext2. After you have mounted it, you can have a look at the contents.

I've found the scripts in this image. I thought earlier that 'setup' was a C program, but it's a script using the Dialog utility. This turned out good, because i don't have to learn C/C++ to understand and use it. Thanx!
