Hello,

I have 4 large DMG files on my external hard drive. I want to burn them to DVD so that I can install them on my laptop. When I try to install them from the DMG files themselves it keeps stalling and asking to insert disk 2 etc.

Do I convert them to ISO files first in Toast and burn them to make installation DVDs? I have never done this before so any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!
 
You don't need to combine them first. If their names are something like:
Blah.dmg
Blah.2.dmgpart
Blah.3.dmgpart
Blah.4.dmgpart

Then you need only mount Blah.dmg, and they will be presented as a single volume.

If they look more like this:
Blah1.dmg
Blah2.dmg
Blah3.dmg
Blah4.dmg

Then you must mount all 4 images separately.
