 Well then you can just leave the dmg as a dmg and just mount it with
 hdid (etc) as well too. That is you don't have to expand the dmg's
 onto disk.

You can just install the packages from the mounted dmg. They're in System/Installation/Packages.

No. Do Not Do That. It will Not work correctly.

And if you really wanted a bootable disk that does fit on single layer DVD media you could convert the dmg so it's writable and delete the XCode Tools folder which should drop the size of the dmg down small enough to burn to a single layer DVD. You can burn similarly burn the XCode Tools to a separate DVD.

That'd be sort of ok.
