Well, to integrate SLIP into you kernel, you'll have to
recompile/rebuild your kernel, but there should be enough information
on your system to do this.

Check out 'man config' or 'man doconfig'...

Otherwise just get a SLIP-package and read the suggested
installation-steps. They usually contain information on what to put
where an how and maybe why... ;-)
