Ok, so my next question is how is best to make a installing CD for mac.
Most modern Mac apps don't. Instead they just set the background image of the CD's root directory to be a graphic with text tell the user to drag the app's folder to their hard drive, just as they do with DMG files.
If your app requires copying files to specific locations outside of the application's folder you could use an installer. Monte makes one and there are several others both free and commercial.
With commercial installer tools read the fine print of the license agreement: some of the major Mac installer vendors punish the Mac community by requiring an ANNUAL license, while the same company often makes their Windows version available for a one-time fee.
And at least one very major Mac installer vendor has chosen to encumber themselves with antiquated back-office methods: While their storefront will conveniently let you purchase your first annual license, renewals require that you download a PDF electronically, print it to physical paper to fill it out, and then transfer the physical paper back to them electronically via fax, where the renewal order is processed by hand. If you stay on top of your renewal date this may not be a problem, but if you need to build something outside of east coast business hours and find your annual license has expired you'll be hosed until the next business day. Weird decision.
So if you need an installer, consider Monte's: <http://www.sweattechnologies.com/InstallGadget/>
