I found this program when I was messing with my G4.

It seems pretty cool. Goes thru the machine and removes language support that gets installed by default and you won't use.
It takes a few minutes to select ALL the languages you don't use, but I saved a Gig.
It also removes keyboard layouts, and unused processor types.

Has anybody used this?

I ran it last night, and it seemed to loop when doing processor types. After it ran for a while, I couldn't launch anything, but it continued processing what was up just fine. I watched the CPU load with my iStat, and it stayed right around 90 percent, which is perfectly acceptable for what I was doing.

I did a forced quit, because I didn't want the cancel to put stuff back.

Now, I'm wondering...How dangerous is this on a Hackintosh?
