Later versions of OS X ship with less language files installed by default, so there is less space to reclaim. Every bit counts on those SSDs anyway

I recently purchased a Macbook Air, and the Monolingual only cleared up 68 MB. is that because most of the packages are added from apps that are installed, or is Lion just that much more efficient? I also noticed that the entire printers library is only 200+ MB….

The “1GB” more you need is RAM, not actual disk space.

In the top level ‘hard drive’. “/” is the root of that drive. If your drive is not visible on your desktop you can turn that on via Finder preferences.

Sorry. I never ran into that and don’t have a solution readily available. A trip to the genius bar at your local apple store may be your best bet.

Not really sure what you can do here. Maybe someone else in the comments can help.
