That's quite possible, especially if it's a 160MB hard disk :) Go through the System Folder and start trimming. Any PowerBook stuff can go. Any control panels that, when opened, give the "This control panel cannot be used with this Macintosh" error can go. A lot of the Apple Extras stuff can go. Rebuilding your desktop will probably reclaim several megs unless you reformatted right before the installation. And last, you might want to run the entire pile of code through a PPC code stripper to remove all the extraneous PPC code, which will save another 10-40% in many cases. the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
