So, to answer your question: Okay, it was a bit of a "surmise" on my part. I am assuming that the Panther OS will be bigger than Jag (which is at least a Gig-plus, right?) just based on the trend I've seen from 8.6 to 9.x to X. Considering the additional features in Panther, maybe it will be close to 2 Gigs? I guess we'll see.
Panther installs<1> is anywhere from about 1GB to 3.3GB, depending on what you install.
The OS itself appears to be just about the same size as 10.2 (~1.2GB for OS X + BSD)
Of course, turning off all the languages, asian fonts, print drivers, (and don't Forget Internet Explorer at 25-30MB) is the key to getting down that low.
<1> I've seen a few, none are the Golden Master, these numbers may vary, but I seriously doubt by much. Also, I am going from memory here.
