You install (pkg) the following packages

That is the bare minimum. There are other
packages in the d1 directory that may be
needed for some sourcecode.

Just for reference, once those 5 packages are installed on a completely
fresh BL3 I show 34.2 MB of space used on the disk. Subtract the size of a
fresh BL3 install and you get the size of those 5 packages installed (ca.
30 MB?).

You can save a lot of space by deleting (or not installing) /doc /man/ /info /locale and /gconv and /zoneinfo (both from libc), and any terminfo stuff installed by ncurses that was not originally in BL3 - console, vt100 102 320, linux, linux-nic, lpr, xterm, xterm-nic. (Did I accidentally add some of these? BL2 came with fewer.

If you are deleting, be sure to keep Steven's man pages, which are in man itself not man1 man2.... and are not in man format.

I thought Steven said BL1 compiler packages only needed 10MB.

The 2.2.6 kernel source code package for Slackware 4.0 is 11MB.
Slackware 10.2 kernel source is 31MB (2.4.31) and expands to 150MB (AFTER deleting all architectures but i386).

I just checked the Slackware mirrors links at the BL3.50 site with links.

*carrol.cac.psu is Slackware 8.1 through 12.0
brasil includes 3.3
*text.mirror.ac.uk Error loading Host not found
utah includes 3.0 and 3.2 (no 3.7 or 3.8)
*slackware.mirrors.pair.com starts with 8.1
*python.planetmirror.com Port 80 is not found on this server
*zuul is very slow to connect (I gave up on it).
riksun includes 3.3
ftp.planetmirror.com/pub includes 2.1
ftp.slackware.lt includes 3.3

Time to edit the list again.
