There is a shareware program called "DropDMG" from http://c- command.com/dropdmg that attach license agreements to DMG images, as well a many other things.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Recently, I have noticed a nice trick some people are doing. They are putting a symlink to /Applications on the installer disk image with a background image consisting of an arrow moving the app to the installer link.

Given this little trick and my PackageMaker failures, I am strongly considering going back to a drag-n-drop installer for simple Application installations. I read somewhere that Apple recommends that method.

I have noticed that trick also, which seems very nice. I would love to find some nice clear instructions about how to create the Finder window with a background image and to have the window configuration remembered by Toast, etc.
