I would download a Linux kernel from kernel.org and use that. There is no joy in use an old kernel from anyone (in most cases). I *think* Slackware was using a stock Linux kernel, but unless you have a good reason to use the older version I'd download the current 2.2.
You might consider updating to something a bit newer in the way of total install, but that's up to you.
