Default Slack 12 + 20GB HDD: disk full during install?

Hi,

I'm trying to install Slack 12 on an old machine with 20 GB hdd/32 MB
RAM. No matter how large I make /usr, the installation keeps giving a
message like "cannot write to disk because disk is full". Currently the
partitioning is / (100 MB), /usr (15 GB), /home ((5 GB). I've been
trying to install Expert (leaving out X) and Full, but so far each time
I get "disk full".
Previously, I installed Slack 11 without a problem using a similar
partitioning as above, but found out I needed a 2.6 kernel because of a
WiFi adapter I want to try out.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
