“When working with Leopard on laptops, make sure to consider the realities of older units with less space and/or small solid state drives. Leopard typically clocks in at over 8GB for a typical install. That leaves very little space on an old 20GB hard drive (vintage TiBook, anyone?) or a 16GB (or even 64GB) solid state drive for your personal data and media.
Going portable can mean going small. And Leopard, with its standard packages, is anything but that. So how are you supposed to deal with its masses of data, support files and bloated applications?” by Erica Sadun, arstechnica.com.
There are some great tips here for reclaiming some much needed hard drive space. I followed the directions and was able to free up 4GB on my MacBook Pro in just a few minutes.
