I should hope so, there's no way I'm going to keep 10 gigs free on my 10gb iBook. :) Obviously, running apps need to be able to write out (temporary) data and stuff. That's why the system drive needs some room; although this isn't really dependant on the amount of total drive space (hence no percentage) but on the amount of stuff you have running and what you do with it. I think a few hundred MB as buffer is normally enough. Anyway, you'll be warned before the disk fills up. Maurits.
