.DMG Files
Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me the process that a .dmg file undergoes once it's downloaded from a website? I seem to have noticed that when you initially get the file, a installer document comes with it (dmg.part) and when you try to mount the disk image it says that it isn't recognized.
After struggling with it for quite some time it eventually works...and furthermore smaller programs like MSN messenger I never had problems mounting th image. What's causing the time laps with allowing me to mount the image? Do I have to wait for the installer document to do something? In time the installer document disappears and then the disk image increases in size from 0 KB to maybe a couple 100 MB. Is there something I'm missing here? =/
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
