Assuming you can repartition the drive to give linux some room, just install it.  When Slack9.1 is done, it'll want to install Lilo (Linux Loader), which can install in your boot sector.  Set it up with your linux and window drive, then when you boot  it'll ask you which you want.
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:
