Try SlackWare's ZipSlack (or, if you want, BigSlack).  This works in a
similar way by sitting on a DOS/Windoze partition and creating a
psudo-root in the linux directory.  Personally, I had problems with the
supplied X in BigSlack, but ZipSlack is a basic install to which you can
add X, and that version did exactly what it said on the tin.  I use it
on my Wife's machine.

You can download ZipSlack from www.slackware.com - it is a zip file of
around 35 megs.
