Slackware 10.0 appears to do it, though I have not tried it 
myself.  From the ChangeLog.txt:

"isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*:  Added support for 
installing from   USB or IEEE1394 CD/DVD drives.  Fixed full 
installation size estimate (thanks to Karl Magnus and Erik Jan 
Tromp).  Set HOME=/root for install.Fixed install support for 
bareacpi.i."

There are other references as well.  You could check in the 
Freenode "slackware" IRC channel to ask for sure.
