No need to force it. Try this:

$ grep mkinitrd /var/log/packages/*

That's an "old chesnut" in the Slackware world, and yields this line
(among others):
/var/log/packages/mkinitrd-1.3.4-i486-3:sbin/mkinitrd

the packages to install 3.5 are in the unsupported directory for 13, you
skip the kde installers, and install 3.5 later, takes maybe 10 seconds
to find and start the install.
