Can somebody please explain to me why revision 2 of 10.5.2 is 7.4 GB instead of the 8.5 GB I saw in the previous revision? Today, I was reinstalling the latest release to start fresh, and I noticed this file size change for the first time. I selected the same customize options as I did in the other version.

Yeah, because it seems as if Zephyroth modified the RETAIL portion of this release. Any response from the admins (including Zephyroth) would be very appreciated. Thanks.
Did Zephyroth modify any of the retail contents of the DVD? Essential System software used to be 5.5 GB [in the very first revision]. Now the latest release has 5.4 GB of Essential System Software. What's up with that?
Wait, what? What I was told by zephyroth was the 10.5.2 was integrated in all retail contents of the Disk. (a few minutes ago of course) =)
