thanks for the reply.
that's quite disappointing, i am sure i was able to install tiger in not much more than 2gb, that's without printer drivers, languages, ilife, iphoto and development tools.
looks like i'll have to get a 16gb card, at least i'll have a bit more flexibility.
by the way, if anyone has been interested in the addonics compact flash to sata card, but is in europe, there's a bloke on ebay, from italy, selling them for about £20.
hello.
i'm just wondering what the minimum install size is for leopard?
without ilife, iphoto etc.
because i'm after a compact flash card for my macbook, i already have a compact flash to sata adaptor and was hoping to fit leopard on on a fast 8gb card as i can't afford a fast 16gb card and don't want a slow card.
in my normal install i only use safari, itunes, ichat and the terminal. iphoto, photobooth etc. isn't installed. i also have a few small third-party programs, that probably don't even amount to 50 mb additional.
so, anyone any ideas if i could manage to squeeze that all on an 8gb card? i'd use an external 2.5-inch drive for my itunes library, films, and either that or a networked drive for time machine.
