Mavericks how much space after clean install?

[Valkyre]

After a clean install of Mavericks, how much disk space does the OS take?

I am not asking about the 5.3 gigs needed to download the compressed OS file, but how much disk space a freshly installed, complete version of Mavericks OS takes up.

Less than 10 Gb. Can be as little as 7Gb. With iWork and Garageband, it'll be more.

Mine is 11.26 after updating iTunes.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Reason I asked is because I went from ML to Mavericks (no clean install) and I am trying to find out where some of my disk space went.

I mean I see a lot of "other storage" and I dont get were it came from

Thanks again

A clean new install without additional apps will take approx. 11 to 11.5 GB in space. That is indeed an improvement from ML which used about 16GB.

Just in comparison, Windows 7 will take around 20 GB and Windows 8 sucks up 24 GB.
