I know nothing about boot/root disks, but I beg to differ about the
ISO.  

All I did was download the ISO (1 hour plus on cable, YMMV with
dialup) from I forget which mirror, use cdrecord to burn a cd, prep my
partitions (Slack is not my only distro), boot up the cd, and install.
 Nothing could be simpler.  Of course, I deviated by declining to use
Lilo, since I have a working grub setup - no distro writes to my mbr,
thank your very much!

The install instructions (not much is needed) are in the online Slack
manual.

I haven't heard any horror stories; this is good stuff.
