Slack-Kickstart allows you to auto-magically install Slackware on your machine. This includes pre-installation and post-installation scripts, partitioning, CD/DVD/FTP/HTTP/NFS installation medium, tag lists, per machine Kick-Start config files via FTP/HTTP/NFS/script and such. Supported Slackware versions should be all up from Slackware-8.1. 32-bit version is untested(I have no interest in 32-bit version). Cross-platform(64-bit↔32-bit) is possible in theory, but untested and not recommended.
Slack-Kickstart is kind of clone to Red Hat's Anaconda. However, make no mistake, because Slack-Kickstart is no clone(although this is not contradicted for future development). It just imitates some behaviour.
As of now, my “forked” version of Slack-Kickstart doesn't have GUI for Kick-start configuration. Original one has this feature.
You can find more information in README.
