Apple recommends using disk images for delivering applications.

That this may leave a dmg file behind is not a problem at all, since a lot of applications are delivered this way and the user is used to it (or will become so).

While you may use internet enabled dmgs, I personally don't like them at all, because I usually want to keep the files I downloaded. If the image is internet enabled, I have to go and pick it out of the trash.

Whatever you do, do not use a custom installer!
(Or, equally worse, some crap third party installer ...)

I second everything Andreas says. I like dmg's, and I like to be able to keep them as a backup.


Also, I never install anything that comes with an installer, unless it comes from Apple or some other supplier I know and trust.

Regards,
Jeremy
