If debootstrap is what you're most comfortable with, there is a version of
debootstrap that was written for slackware (though I haven't tried it).
Googling installing slackware chroot answered a more generic slackware
method: http://slackworld.berlios.de/2007/chroot_howto.html
For some totally generic process to install any random distro into a chroot,
you're probably looking at running the installer in its own partition (and
mounting that partition wherever) or installing in something like VirtualBox
and then copying the files out of the virtual disk using something like
vdfuse. Non-elegant, but one size fits all
