Yes. During the Slackware installation process you have the option of
installing Linux on a DOS partition using UMSDOS. There are many
tradeoffs in doing so, however.

If you would have bought Slackware 96 from Walbut Creek, you would
have gotten it on one of the accompanying CD-ROMs. ;) If you had
bought Volkerding's book, you would have gotten it on one of the
accompanying CD-ROMs. ;) Try ftp.cdrom.com.

Hope this helps,
