The ClarisImpact Easy Install uses approximately 20MB of disk space to complete the installation. However, the Installer needs additional hard disk space beyond what these files use, which is used for expanding compressed files.
You may not need all of the files that a full install puts on your drive, or you may not have enough disk space to complete the full install. By pressing Customize, you can pick and choose which files you need. For example, if you don't have a color monitor, you can save some space by installing ClarisImpact with only the Black & White styles.
If you install all of the Claris Art, it takes up 7.5MB of disk space. You can save some space by installing minimal Claris Art, which takes up only 1.7MB of disk space, or if you have existing artwork or graphics in PICT, TIFF or EPSF, you can skip the Claris Art altogether.
If you are comfortable working on a program without the online help, you can save another 1.6MB of disk space.
NOTE: If you have other Claris applications, you already have a Main Dictionary, Claris XTND System, and Claris Translators in your Claris folder. The ClarisImpact Installer will only install those translator items that you don't already have, and will update older versions of the Main Dictionary and XTND System.
Below are some sample Mac configurations and custom install options. The first column of numbers is hard disk space required for the installation, the second column is actual disk space taken by the installed files. Remember that after the installation is complete, the ClarisImpact files will only take up the amount of space in the right column.
