Yeah, thats pretty much exactly what zipslack is, and its written to a FAT
system.
After we cut our teeth on zipslack dualbooting, we finally went full slackware,
and I really cannot recall any type of package manager.. it's been years since
I fooled with it, but everything one would need, we would have to search for
and it all came in a gzipped tar packet, and we would have to install
everything to its correct area for a system install, or even build it all,
which really would be preferible if one had the time for all that :)
