I have multiple .dmg files on my desktop and I wish to
copy them to a DVD+RW. The Disk Utility allows me to
copy one disk image pretty easily but that is a waste of
space. I would like to copy many disk images to a
DVD+rw for backup purposes. Does any have any ideas?
Otherwise I will just use the cheaper CD

BTW, I have the Super CD option where I can read and
write CDs. My system is a Mac Mini that has all the
options except I have only 512 MB ram instead of 1 GB. I
added a 20 inch Dell wide screen display and I like it. It
connected to my existing Windoze based network using
the airport card with no problems. The Mac MIni runs
cool and quite like no Windoze system I have seen. I
highly recommend it.

A long time disgruntled WIndoze user. Now if there was
just a two button mouse....... :)

Morning!

Insert a blank DVD disk...select all the .dmg files on your
desktop and drag them till they make a little green +
sign, and have them copy over on the DVD. Then drag the
DVD to the trash, where it will populate a little black and
yellow circle, signifying a burn. This will burn your DVD
through the Finder application w/o using disk utility.

Hope this helps!

Any 2 or 3 button USB mouse will work..
Archiving DMGs would require the disk seeing them as ordinary data files..if it sees them as image files it will try to make a single image..

Obviously, i think i believe you think i said what you want to believe, but i think you didn't believe what i think i really said...
