Optionally, if you have a free partition on any attached drive
that's big enough, you can just write the .dmg to the hard drive
partition rather than burning a DVD. This is common practice for
many Apple engineers. Then you can boot from that partition rather
than booting from the DVD. It's typically much faster than burning
a DVD, too.
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.
I don't think you can boot from it in that case, though. And you need
to boot from it to run the installer.
