I think this has already been discussed, you might want to check the
archive at <http://www.luci.org>.

Anyhow, I know Walnut Creek CDROM  puts out a slackware distro called
Zipslack <http;//www.slackware.com/zipslack/>. It is designed to be loaded
onto a zip disk, they have another one called bigslack (same page) that
has more features.

That may fit your needs, although I'd be surprised if it does, considering
the source.
