   During the years I have created my own custom Slackware installation   
   medias with extra software packages and my own packages containing   
   different settings like a fixed choice of keyboard (yes I also customize   
   the installation scripts to minimum number of scripts asked and all those   
   setup scripts at the end of installation to no questions at all asked).   
      
   The original Slackware 14.2 did fit on a 4.5 GB DVD, but with my   
   customizations i needed a dual layer 8 GB DVD. My custom Slackware 15.0   
   does no longer fit on those 8 GB discs, they require a 25 GB bluray. My   
   biggest added software packages are the texlive-docs and texlive-extra   
   packages from slackbuilds.org, those packages alone are 1.6 GB and 2.1 GB   
   after compression with xz.
