Hello. I am going to reinstall mac osx tiger to get rid of the lanuage and applications i don't want. Is there anything i should know before i do it. Also when i put mac osx tiger on will it remove the contents that i have on there before that is what i am looking for it to do?

thanks

Yes, all your settings will be removed, so back up your files first. Yes, when installing, deselect everything you don't absolutely need. I'd get rid of the languages, the printers, and the iBloat.
 
Haha, my name for iLife--Garageband, iMovie, iPhoto, etc. Unless you'll actively use that stuff, leaving it out of the installation will save several gigs.
