I also think this is the best option for him.

Er, I posted in the wrong thread. The FTP servers too slow for me. BTW, any ISO for Mac OS X 10.8 GM?

No, since the GM is most likely the final one, which means it won't end up here until it's abandonware.

Have you tried Catacombae DMGExtractor

http://catacombae.org.preview.binero.se/dmgx.html

It's Java based so is platform independent it also supports many of the dmg compression formats.

I've done this many times. Change the extension from .DMG to .ISO

@Mustafa Can
With Transmac you'll lose the bootability (if it isn't a word it is not).

If you use Transmac I should recommend you using an oldfashioned external bootable image/drive, i.e. rBoot and iBoot.
Just google "rboot" and you'll find a way to use it

Welp. I actually have experience with this from downloading from the Apple website to get the driver set for Windows 7 for a friend.

Downloaded the file (in dmg)
converted it to img with dmg2img..
Aaaanddd... STILL unusable. I was stumped for a while, but then I found out that the data was compressed with a cpio compression on an unlabeled binary. Lovely. I unzipped that, and I got to the iso in the directory. Why did Apple make their packaging format so obscure..?

It's obscure on windows: I suspect that once you extract the dmg you're left with something without an extension, which puzzles the operating system.
On any unix system you learn that the extension is not a good file format identifier (if only MS added a "file" command to the command prompt...).
