yes, I did that...

thanks - I probably will not touch Library or System for the reasons you state.

I did de select fonts and languages...what is odd about getting rid 
of them later is that every time I've run something to do that 
[usuallyMonolingual] it ends up 'breaking' my Microsoft keyboard so 
that I have to reinstall it....thus, I've not wanted to do any of 
that tinkering

As to why, just trying to start out with max room and not have 
unnecessary stuff...I did want it bootable just in case but not have 
alot of stuff on it otherwise....
Thanks for the help
