Upon futher inspection it seemed in the xsl stylesheet 'slides-common.xsl' That is was referencing  the file 'chunk.xsl' from the net distribution at sourceforge.

What is the difference between the xsl style sheets in the slides distribution and the full xsl distro ?  Can I drop the two into the same path ?  Or is the slide-common.xsl stylesheet just 'stealing' a component from the larger distro ?

I'm not sure I understand the question.
The slides xsl stylesheet is a customization of
the standard Docbook XSL stylesheet set.  The slides
distribution doesn't include the DocBook XSL distro.
Slides is an extension that depends on DocBook XSL.
It isn't stealing just a component, it is using quite
a lot of the DocBook XSL stylesheet machinery.
You can put them in the same place, as long as there
are no filename conflicts.
