A DMG is the installer for most aps. Other applications come in a PKG or a package installer. To install an application, open the DMg, then copy the application to the applications folder. A PKG is more like a windows install, with a nex button. Open the PKG, then, click install. Hth, Chantel. On Mar 8, 2010, at 6:36 PM, Kimberly thurman wrote:
