No, you do not want to use Shrinkwrap.  Not only is Shrinkwrap unable to
mount or otherwise do something useful with the iso image, it may actually
corrupt it for you.

The only things you need are "Shorten" (http://www.hornig.net/shorten.html)
for verifying the md5sum (select "Make MD5..." from the file menu, tell it
where to save the text file, the string of letters & numbers inside the file
it creates should match those inside the text file found on the ftp server)
and Toast.  Toast should recognize the iso as a disk image when you drag and
drop.  Mounting the image with Toast may corrupt it (for burning a good cd
that will install properly), however, if you get info on the image and mark
it as locked before mounting, corruption may not be an issue (not verified,
but seems logical).
