Not sure about Tiger, but with Panther and earlier versions, it is best 
to plan 2 or 3 GB for the OS plus 1 ore 2 more GB for elbow room.  So 
if you edge into the last 10 or 15 percent of capacity, you are on the 
edge of disaster.  I would not do it if I had critical stuff on the 
drive that is not backed up and that I cannot afford to lose.
