Thanks Chris, I knew that this list was not for this. I would like to know suitable list for this kind of queries. While burning on DVD, it expands to fit in DVD format. My problem is that how does 950 MB of data can fit in an image of 600 MB on 10.6 and not on 10.5 while using same procedure as I wrote in my first message.
Sorry for posting on this list.
Regards,
Rakesh

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
