[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Need help finishing Mac OsX 2.0.9 DMG file.

[James Fournie]

I downloaded your file and it worked for me, as Paul says, Mac users are
used to just dragging the app file into their Applications folders, there's
usually not an installer.

If you want to force your users to undergo a more formal installation
process, you can look for the PackageMaker app in the XCode developer
tools, but it's not necessary and probably more work than it's worth.

Another tip, your DMG is 100MB -- you can select it in "Disk Utility" and
click "Convert" to convert it to a "Compressed" image -- this will make it
only about 30MB and therefore less of a download.
