Thanks Mike. I discovered that I'd already deleted all but two printer drivers long enough ago that I hadn't remembered it. I also found that I already had Monolingual 1.3.9 downloaded to my HD, so I ran it and cleared out 340MB of Finnish, Chinese, Russian, etc. I also cleared out 230MB in architectures from G5 to Intel 64-bit. But what should I choose to clear out in the Input Menu category? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan wrote: > Keep OnyX and AppleJack.

I'll try it again from scratch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruce Johnson wrote: > I seem to be saying this a LOT, but "What Dan said!" And thanks to you as well, Bruce.
