That's almost always easier said than done: you can test things you create
(or in this case, package together) for your own purposes on your own
hardware, but inevitably someone somewhere will have a combination of
hardware, software, and personal requirements that will make - whatever
it was you took the trouble to test in all ways you could - fail.

I do have a suggestion for using the oversize .iso file, which may be
how it was intended to be used (or as was suggested already, it may be
oversized due only to carelessness, but I think my suggestion will work
anyway):

leave the .iso on a regular file system on a hard disk, boot the system
from either floppy, or from the CD of a previous Slackware version,
mount the partition containing the oversized .iso file somewhere out of
the way, then mount the .iso itself via the loopback interface. You'll
need to leave the partition mounted with the .iso file untouched while
you install -current, but if you have extra disk space that may not be a
problem.

The disclaimer, of course, is that I've not tried this myself, so I
don't want to accept any credit unless it works. ;-)
