Can this madness be stopped?
Library = almost 8Gig
System = 4Gig
..plus everything else 🙁
This seems very bloated to me. What is the smallest footprint one can aspire too?

I think that there's a sticky post at the top of this forum that talks about how to do a custom OS X install to yield the most drive space.

the real starting size will be ~ 74.4 GB (80*.93). A minimum install of OS X should take about 6 GB, as already stated. So I would think the most you could possibly have to play with when starting out would be ~68 GB.
