I went hunting for a .iso, but the oldest .iso I could find is 12.0
I also looked for a .vdi or .ova, but here lead to nothing but a ton of .js
so I gave up, as I way too often do, on everything
If I recall, the earlier versions were offered as ISOs through commercial vendors such as Walnut Creek CD-ROM. At least that is how I recall getting Slackware 3.0 and Slackware '96 back in the mid '90s. Otherwise, you downloaded the disk series from a site such as sunsite and wrote them to 1.44 MB 3.5" floppies (and hoped a given disk wouldn't be bad) and did the installation.
You can use qemu to install an Slack-based floppies by creating a virtual disk then extract the contents of each floppies on the vdisk (pay attention if the "floppy" contains a doinst.sh), or you can eject and re-insert the next "floppy" ! This is possible with the monitor of qemu With qemu you can also mixe it's vm and a real harddisk ! qemu is a great tool..
