dc.... I need some clarification on what you did. Was the Leopard install disk in your computer or some other external drive when you selected "Upgrade"? Did you use "Upgrade" to upgrade your backup or your computer? Where do you find "monolingual" to remove the languages and architectures? That would save some hard drive space!
