Does anyone know a method how to remove the Intel code from ALL system components of OS X? I need this for my Mac Mini G4 and my Powerbook.

Apps like XSlimmer only trim Applications, not the system components. I read somewhere from a terminal command how to remove code from UB files, but I haven't found it anymore.

Theoretically there is no need for Intel code at all on a PPC machine - there is no way to execute it in any case. If only slimming the standard apps of Leopard will save nearly 1 GB, slimming the whole system could save a lot more.

Maybe "ditto --arch ppc" is what you're looking for.

naquaada, how are you doing bro? hope everything is great.

What about installations for PPC only, like 10.4 for PowerPC. I am not sure about Leopard but Tiger CDs for PPC (at least i think so) are without Intel code.

I'm NOT sure if this way works for you
In my case I used CleanMyMac app and it clean up all PPC code
Perhaps you can use this app to remove all Intel code
