Hi! Have downloaded (quick connection) the entire slackware-9.1 distribution
to /home/slackware-9.1 on /dev/hda7. The intallation packages are thus at
/home/slackware-9.1/slackware. During installation this is mounted to
/mnt/home/slackware-9.1/slackware . However, choosing 4 "Install from a
pre-mounted directory" and entering the path just quoted does not work.
The setup just prints a message at the bottom of the screen too fast
to read and exits to the main menu.

Suggestion, verbose if possible :-) , much appreciated.

I _think_ you can't use /mnt for your slack distribution; the installation
itself uses /mnt for its own purposes and probably mounts over the top of
your prior mount, effectively making your distribution files invisible.

Try:
mkdir /mnt2
then:
mount /dev/hda7 /mnt2
