Morning All,

I don't know about pruning, but when I installed I deliberately left  
the languages and printers I didn't want off the list (I removed the  
ticks on all the extra languages and all printers but HP).

My /Library is only 3.23 GB (and that's after re-installing iLife and  
Microsoft Office too).

Hope this info helps
