I'm glad I asked. Now that leads to another question. If I wanted to skip the redundant download and open the image-writer-mac file in Terminal from the larger download Tom G. posted (Sugar-Creation-Kit-ver05.iso) how would I do that? I have copies of that download both on my desktop and burned on a DVD. </pre> </blockquote> change your directory in terminal to the location of .iso  (ie:  cd /xxx/xxx) (ls command will tell you where you are) then issue the commands <blockquote cite="mid:SNT110-W4814687FC770749B431240CC160@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> Caryl P.S.

They could also be done on separate lines (as two commands). cd ~/Downloads navigates to your Downloads folder. You could also use ls to see what's inside.
