        You can see on my web site how to do it.
        The page is not complete, but the important steps are there, and detailed.
        It's made for a Mandrake 9.1 but it should work for other distributions too
(but not Slackware I'm afraid [because it's not installable from CDROM, it
needs a floppy disk as far as I remember...]).

        The idea is to have another machine (called "the server"), that will have the
content of all the CDs of the Linux distribution on the server, to share it
by NFS, and to boot the TabletPC in PXE mode (this means through the network)
on the image that is used to boot the Linux distribution CD.

        My web page that explain this (in french but should be understandable if
translated with http://babelfish.altavista.com/)
http://boism.nerim.net/TC1000/Linux/Mandrake/index91.php

        The web page that made it possible in my mind:
