Hello all, I have a question here. I want to put "Tiger" on a diet, I see on my HDD that it took up 5.2 gigs to install, well I was watching it install and I saw that it went and installed all of these diffrent languages and so forth. is there a way to remove those? I do not speek, nor use them.

check versiontracker, there are several "localizer" apps that make it very easy to remove ALL the language & support files you dont need..

Follow bowwowman's advice. Also uninstall any unnecessary printer drivers. The Epson ones are real pigs.

Don't those "localizer" apps remove the resources inside applications? Isn't there a way to remove the OS language files? I'm sure I have them also since I bought my machine at an Apple store and Apple probably installs everything.

Reinstall and this time customize your install to not install all of the printer drivers and languages.

I have Macaroni (Atomicbird.com), and I think it removes the language files, but I could be wrong... it does something with them...

You can do a new install and select Custom and leave out unneeded apps, language packs and printers, or you can delete them afterward.
Both DeLocalizer and Monolingual work quite well. After a long time with DeLoc, I find Mono a bit better in Tiger.
As far as printer packs, easy to get rid of (and you can re-add if needed down the road). Two other apps that eat up space are iDVD and GarageBand.
Also, trash IE.
