Is it possible to install full slackware from slackware 13 dvd in 4 or 4.5 GB partition?

What's the minimum space required to install full slackware with all packages from dvd?

About 5GB+ of hard disk space for a full install

Perhaps look at your signature ? :-)

Don't think the kernel etc are included

If you leave out KDE, and go with just XFCE, you can reduce the size of the Slackware install by at least 1GB. You should be able to install Slackware without KDE to your partition.

I'm not surprised. I need 5.7GiB for /usr alone, and I've not added all that much to it.
