   Yes, locking at the installation isos for Slackware 14.2 you can see that   
   the source directory has been omitted completely. This is probably   
   because the source directory contains more than 6 GB of data and in   
   itself would not fit on a single layer DVD (4.5 GB). Together with the   
   rest of the installation files it would not even fit on a dual layer DVD   
   (8.5 GB). To have the source directory in an ISO together with the rest   
   of the Slackware installation files would require a bluray disc to burn.
