What exactly did you "pare down?" I can imagine removing all unneeded languages and printers, as well as unneeded apps and their associated files, but what else did you remove?

Once you have Leopard on your USB drive, can you update it to 10.5.2 and apply all other relevant updates? If so, and if there's a least a couple of gigs still free, then that's the solution!

Cheers!

Disk Utility says capacity is 7.7 Gb on the top (disk) line, but 7.34 Gb on the volume line, with 6.1 used and 1.2 available.

I only pared down the obvious, as you said. I installed the driver for my printer separately afterwards, also Diskwarrior.

I can't remember now whether I updated to 10.5.2 before or after cloning, sorry.
