Hi,

Previously I mentioned that there was no .dmg for OS X and Wayne
you stated that there was a need for an image to instruct users on
what to do with it once open. I think you have mixed .dmg up with
.pkg. .dmg is merely a disk image, not an installation medium.
.pkg is used to install applications on OS X and these are often
come inside .dmg.

Thus .dmg is very similar to the available tar.gz and is what Mac users
usually expect to download if there is no .pkg. Just add a readme, install or
other texts in that to explain. When a Mac user downloads a tar.gz or other it
does not necessarily open all the way (tar.gz becomes .tar), but a .dmg will
open and mount for easier use.

So how about it?
