this is vrom the faq.txt in the linux download
Q1: How do I add X to this?
A: Assuming you've got the space to install it, download the X packages
(the files ending in .tgz) from this directory:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware/slakware/x1/
You might also grab the diskx1 file, which describes each of the
packages. You can save disk space if you don't install all of the X
servers (you only need the one for your video card), and you might
also leave out extra fonts, old X shared libraries (oldlibs*.tgz),
and possibly development tools if you're not planning to compile X
software yourself. Once you've collected the packages you plan to
install into a directory, run this to install them:
installpkg *.tgz
Before running X, you'll need to set it up with 'xf86config'.
