Re: *.dmg file too big
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com 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. No. Do Not Do That. It will Not work correctly. That'd be sort of ok. -pmb _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

You can just install the packages from the mounted dmg. They're in System/Installation/Packages. The latest OS Install packages are designed to use features in the latest Installer. If you try to install them using a version of the Installer older than they are, they may fail in subtle ways. And if you really wanted a bootable disk that does fit on single layer DVD media you could convert the dmg so it's writable and delete the XCode Tools folder which should drop the size of the dmg down small enough to burn to a single layer DVD. You can burn similarly burn the XCode Tools to a separate DVD. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
