Greetings. I am new to the Mac world, thus please excuse this simple question.
I have downloaded the dmg file for the Adobe Design Suite Premium CS4. How do I go about installing? If possible provide a 1-2-3 step (ending with deleting the dmg file).
I also noted that the Adobe download sign included a few other dmg files, e.g., Deployment Toolkit, Content Extra and Resources, among others. Are these essential?

Welcome to the Mac! I’m sure that you will soon be comfortably up and going with it. It is very easy to click and install. But, since I haven’t purchased/downloaded as you have, I’ll tackle the last part of your post: Yes. Download the other components and take a look at them. You may not need or want everything now. But at some point you may. Besides, you already paid for them!
And why on Earth would you want to delete the dmg image?
Missed that. Yeah hang on to that, just cost you close to $1000. Burn 2 DVDs Even 3. Lose it and you will end up paying it all over if you must reinstall and you don’t have that .dmg file.
That goes without saying for ANY downloaded software (as well as for irreplaceable files). Burn and label several backup copies. You could consider a belt-and-suspenders approach and keep one set of backups in a safe place off-premises.
Ann by now, after all your interactions with the "all knowing jim" you should just understand that you don’t know anything, including whether or not you are installing or setting up.
Thanks for all the hints. I really did not mean to "delete" but to remove from the HD; saving on a (DL) DVD sounds most appropriate.
I purchased the Premium package thru a university account for about $301; the Adobe download site says the download (a little more than 5GB) will take 5 hours on a T1 line; it has been about 6 hours and less than half has been downloaded. I am impatiently waiting 🙂
From various Adobe staff blogs and communication with Adobe folks I get the distinct impression that the "setup" terminology is the brainchild of some unnamed installer team, not connected to any the teams that actually work on the various applications in the suite. The Photoshop team is not happy with said installer team at all.
