As it happens I upgraded to Leopard yesterday doing an archive and
install. The Old System folder, after the install, weighed in at 3.2
GB yet my previously 38.2GB of free space has dropped to 21.8 GB of
free space. I find it hard to believe Leopard takes 15 GB of hard
drive space to install? Tiger was around 4GB. I did a search for any
files larger than 10GB and there's nothing. Still searching.
