Copy the .tgz package to ``/'' directory, "telinit 1" and:

tar -vzxpf pkgtools-*.tgz
sh /install/doinstall.sh

I would run: "upgarepkg --reinstall pkgtools-*.tgz" after that.
Just to be sure.

(You can remove the /install directory afterwards, of cource.)

If you have KDE installed then you could use "kpackage" to install
Slackware packages. You might have to run through the configure it to
use the Slackware package format.

That wouldn't work, kpackage is just a frontend for various commandline
package tools. To the op, just untar it into your / directory, run the
shell script in /install, then delete /install, as someone else has
explained.

Given the simplicity of the Slackware package system I did expect they
had this functionality build into the program. But after checking the
source I can see your right, kpackage does use installpkg and removepgk.
