It does give the option to install from a pre-mounted directory, but i have no idea how to locate that from within the setup.

If you have a usb big enough to hold first CD it should work....this is what I usually do
Put the kerne/initrd on usb with a isolinux folder on there too from disk 1
rename isolinux folder to syslinux, rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
edit syslinux.cfg to show where kernel/initrd is
original
Code:
label huge.s
kernel /kernels/huge.s/bzImage
append initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 nomodeset SLACK_KERNEL=huge.s

Code:
label huge.s
kernel /bzImage
append initrd=/initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 nomodeset SLACK_KERNEL=huge.s
when it boots to root login do, assuming usb is /dev/sdc1
Code:
mkdir /mnt/iso
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
mount -o loop /mnt/usb/slackware.iso /mnt/iso
then type in 'setup', hit return
at setup screen when you get to choice for premounted directory tell it to look in /mnt/iso or /mnt/iso/slackware or /mnt/iso/slackware64
note slackware.iso means full name of iso
