Hi, This is slightly off topic.. but...
I've got a lowly 4GB HD and after the regular install of 10.2/10.3, have only 1.5GB left... I saw that these two items (language and printer packs) take about about 1.5 GB or so.. so I would love to get back that 1.5GB... :) How do you remove those extra languages and printer drivers that OS X 10.2/10.3 installed after the fact? Yes, I know I can do a re-install and uncheck those options, but I've got too many updates already so dont want to re-install fresh... Also, I have heard that these products remove the stuff: http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ http://www.atomicbird.com/ And I suppose I will try these products, but is there nothing in OS X itself that can "remove" these things cleanly w/o corrupting system files? Suggestions?
