[QUOTE="yogi, post: 193875, member: 8542"] A little more on disk images: In ANY operating system, under the hood, the os takes a cd or any other media, and mounts it. That means it takes the contents of that media and links it to a virtual folder somewhere deep down in the system. When you look at the media, you're actually looking at the linked version of the disk in your OS, or the Disk Image, if you will. Since OSX can't differentiate between Disc Images coming from a real CD or Images that were made as files, Apps are often packaged this way so that anything bundled with it is accesible in one place. This saves the trouble of having to compress files in order to make one Zipfile, as it is done under windows. [/QUOTE]
