TOPIC Though Mac OS 9.1 requires about 320 MB of available hard disk space for installation, the System Folder is only 160 MB after restart. DISCUSSION
Symptom The Mac OS 9.1 Installer may inform you that you do not have enough hard disk space to complete the installation. For example, you may see a message that contains a statement like "313 MB required, 290 MB available." But after restart, the System Folder takes up only 160 MB of hard drive space. Products affected Solution During installation, several temporary folders and files are created. These require more room on the hard drive than just the amount needed to install a System Folder. If you need to make room for a Mac OS 9.1 installation, you can move files to another partition or drive, then move the files back over once installation is complete. |
