[QUOTE="counterpoint, post: 326657, member: 27188"] If I have for example a 250GB hdd - how much of that is taken up by a default install of Tiger ? Does Mac use instant recovery software? In Windows a comparison software would be something like [URL="http://www.raxco.com/products/fdisr/"]First Defence ISR[/URL], enabling a functional reproduction/ snapshot of the system residing on C:\ . On a basic level, this snapshot may then be booted into, played with, used for experimenting etc. and then when no longer required, deleted. This question was prompted by the [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53108"]Beginner's guide to navigating the Terminal[/URL] thread. Got me wondering if I could create a Tiger snapshot - allowing for experimenting with Terminal commands at no risk to the original/base instillation. [/QUOTE]
