Skinning A (Snow) Leopard

Free space before install: 8.98 GB
Free space after install: 19.73 GB

I don’t know why that’s so fascinating…I guess its just never happened when I’ve installed a new OS before.

    Same thing happened to me when I installed Snow Leopard. I found out that it was a hoax. In Snow Leopard they have made 1KB = 1000 Bytes which makes my 160 GB hard drive 160.04 GB rather than 154 GB. So in essence they have made some of that free space by doing the space calculations like a hard drive manufacturer. The other space comes from loading the print drivers on the fly as you need them rather than loading all the print drivers at installation.
