You initially asked...

I believe your question was answered correctly and accurately. Had you asked "Can anyone help me with information on how to successfully install Slackware ARM 15.0 rc2 on my RazPi?" I would have answered: https://sarpi.penthux.net/index.php?p=installer - which is a step-by-step, end-to-end, guide/tutorial (including colorful pretty screenshot pictures) on how to successfully install the official Slackware ARM OS on a Raspberry Pi device.

As it stands, the SARPi website information is comprehensive and complete, purposely designed and aimed at seasoned Linux users and novices alike. The SARPi website will be updated once Stuart releases future Slackware ARM/AArch64 versions. If you have no need for the SARPi website installer guide then there is a cut-down README file which is included with every SARPi installer image that contains the instructions in order to be successful. The SARPi Project attempts to cater for users of all levels of competence and proficiency. I believe it fulfils that very well indeed. I also believe that there is no need to rearrange any affairs so that the install process is easier. It's already as easy as it's ever going to be, by Slackware standards.

The SARPi Project aims to facilitate, educate, and show users the way to succeed, but not ultimately do it for them. The correct way to get Slackware ARM running on any compatible hardware is to install it using the intended Slackware installer that Stuart creates, which the SARPi installer achieves by including it. The Raspberry Pi OS comes as a pre-built image and the SARPi Project will never support distributing Slackware ARM in this way. If you want it to be that easy then you'll have to use Raspbian instead of Slackware, or find someone who distributes pre-built Slackware ARM images for the Raspberry Pi devices.

I really do not know what else to suggest, other than learning how to spell "Exaga" correctly. That would be a good deferential starting point, for sure. It's not up to me to tell you how you should install Slackware ARM on a Raspberry Pi but the SARPi shizzle is by far the easiest way right now. Until someone comes up with a better solution. Use it, or do not use it. The choice is yours on how you proceed.

Yes, yes, yes.

But what other distro has it's install on one website and it's boot files on another?

Then why don't you ask Stuart to officially endorse the SARPi Project and include all my work within his pristine distro, just to keep you happy and afford you one less thing to worry/complain about? In +9 years you are the first person ever to make a point that Slackware ARM and SARPi reside in two different locations. Hint: being seperate projects that is actually not at all surprising! Plus, if you are that particular about the location of distro and any pertinent Raspberry Pi specific files then both Slackware ARM distro and SARPi binaries can be found on the Slackware.UK mirror repository website.

"No, no, no." SARPi is not just "boot files" - included are the Raspberry Pi kernels, modules, boot-firmwares and wireless firmwares, as well as purpose-built installers for Slackware ARM. They exist because Slackware ARM does not support the Raspberry Pi device(s) at the moment. SARPi is a compromise, a bridge, a middle-man, a workaround, a solution, a means to an end. SARPi is also an unofficial Slackware community project by individuals and not supported by Slackware. Until Stuart officially starts supporting the Raspberry Pi devices in his distro then this is how it will be. Like it or not, that's non-negotiable.
