Can someone tell me how much HD space Panther takes up?

I'll be installing it on a 1st generation iBook with a small HD and want to make sure there would be enough space for all the apps and other stuff.

So, how big is Panther?

Cheers,

Depends on what you really installl.... All languages? All fonts? All printer drivers? X11?
If so, you could end up using 2.5 GB orso.....
If not, thus only 'needed' stuff: around 1.3 GB.

Give or take a couple of MB's... 🙂

How do you do a minimal install of a mac OS? Every time I've installed 10.2 or 10.3, it always installs all the print drivers and languages... and never asked. The only customization I can ever make is upgrade or format... 😕
 
On one of the screens before you install it, there's a button at the bottom called Customize. Click that, and it will let you choose printers, fonts, etc.
 
I believe there are third-party apps that will do this, but I don't think there's an official way.
 
I noticed that there are receipts for them in the library/receipts folder... is there any way through their package receipts? What exactly is the purpose of the "receipts" folder then? 😕
