No, ditto doesn't compress data (although on Snow Leopard it can make
use of HFS+ compression).

Yes, it would.

Yes, a compressed image just stores the data for the image in
compressed form but if you burn the image to a DVD it will be
expanded. Still I can't imagine that’s a problem for you—it makes
little difference if you use, say, half a DVD rather than three
quarters of a DVD.
At this stage I would suggest taking your problem off this list since
it seems to have little to do with Darwin development.
Kind regards,
Chris
