How can I make room on my 60gb iBook? 10.5.8

Seems like the library and some of the system folders are HUGE including stuff like frameworks and private frameworks. Would anyone be so kind to give me an overview of what items I can delete to make a bit of room on my drive (besides personal photos and music, alreday streamlined)

Thanks!

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Hi Marcus,

It can be dangerous removing system items, but removing unused Printer drivers & unused languages can save a lot of room.

And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...
