How much HD space will Jaguar take up?
Anyone know how big the basic install of Jaguar is? This is assuming I have no OS 9, perhaps not even classic mode, and only the most basic applications (AppleWorks, iCal, iSync, Address Book, Sherlock, and 1-2 more MAX). Any chance I could shoehorn it onto a 2GB hard drive?
My primary system is a G4 tower with a 40GB hard drive, but this little system is a Wallstreet laptop with a puny 2GB drive and 160MB RAM (128 + 32). I may be able to switch it out with a cheap 4-6GB laptop drive and 288MB of RAM (or even 384-512 MB), but I am low on money so it would be cool if I could get it to work without upgrades.

"While the amount of disk space required depends on your computer and the way you are installing Mac OS X, you are recommended to have at least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive."
you might be able to just barely scrape by installing onto 2GB, but your 'book would run like shit due to lack of swap space. and with only 160MB RAM, you'd need quite a bit.
<strong>I say maybe just maybe, my totally clean install of Jag on my iMac takes up 1.64Gb including all the extra iApps (but no Biggies like Illustrator 10, photoshop or Office X) so probably not.... sorry</strong><hr></blockquote>
Does that include the Developer Tools, and/or Classic?
Some people may not need those.

How can you not need the developer tools? I thought everyone programmed Cocoa. Or at least, the cool people do!!!
You wanna be cool, right?

I'm a moderator. My coolness is not in question.
While *I* find the Dev Tools invaluable, my wife does not, and I'm about *this* close to ditching Classic altogether, so an idea of how much the plain, base OS + iApps install takes up would be nice for folks to judge by.
iApps: 165meg
Apple installed utilities: 28megs
So, that makes about 1.2 gigs, give or take. It may be a little less than that b/c I've got some webserver stuff in my library folder that most people won't have and 2 additional languages. If you do a custom install, deselect all the languages you don't need and all the printer drivers you don't want, I bet you get it in a gig.
Maybe I'll just keep it how it is or replace the system software with OS 9, and then I'll get a larger hard drive and more RAM once I can afford it. After buying a nice desktop system, I can't afford much more in the way of upgrades, but a 4-6 GB drive and 256 MB of RAM shouldn't cost too much.
