I run Slackware64, and new to the ARM world. I discovered slarm64 and purchased my first Raspberry Pi! I loaded the the root image on the RPi4B SD card and have the Pi running. I was curious if there any plans to release an installer image?
what exactly do you mean?
if transferring to USB-HDD/SSD use script /root/setup.sh
On a PC when installing I am able to run to partition the drive before launching the installer. I like to create separate partitions for /, /boot, /home, /var and swap.
Not sure if swap is needed on the Pi. In the installer I am able to select the source media and select packages to install.

In my opinion, in the form in which ARM devices exist now, classic OS installers are not Suitable, but you can always do what you want - create additional partitions, change FS, etc.
Understanding how the current work of a particular ARM device works.
Software installation is no different from standard Slackware.
A ready working image is a quick start.
I haven't had a chance to test the helios64 yet, but I just got an Odroid HC4 which is the same as a C4 and the boot image for that doesn't work at all. I'm working through the issues trying to figure it out. Petitboot is new to me. I'll let you know when I figure out what the issue is.
