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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
