How much space does Archive & Install take?
Authored by: SOX on Oct 08, '03 01:55:50PM

its likely to fit in 5gb. but you can get a pretty clos estimate by typing:

sudo du -sk /bin /sbin /usr /var /Library /Shared /Developer /System

oops my mistake. it moves the Developer and shared folders so these dont take up any (new) room. the additional space is simply the space required for the install.
the following should be upper bounds:

745168 /usr
8632 /etc/
8 /var
7848 /bin
3680 /sbin
1466368 /Library
