How I sorta solved my Mountain Lion download problem

[struggle4progress]

6. OK, so if you want to make an install DVD apparently you need more than the 4.7GB on a standard DVD,

even though

Applications > Install OSX Mountain Lion.app > Shared Support > InstallESD.dmg

is nominally only 4.35GB. Whatever. Anyway, lots of people have trouble unless they do this, and so did I. So I went out and bought myself some DL (dual-layer) 8.5GB DVDs to be able to do this, and now it looks like I've successfully burned it and verified the burn, cuz it ejected and when I reinserted it in the optical drive, a Mac OSX Install ESD finder window opened to show Install OS X Mountain Lion.app and several folders

But, also, I am learning what lying asshat copycats most of the people posting on the web are

You read "X is really simple! All you have to do is blah blah blah!" And then you try it and it doesn't work

So you look for other instructions and you find word-for-word the exact same useless effin instructions on a gazillion other websites

And then finally you find one where somebody put in the comments field "Disk Utility won't make a usb stick from this dmg unless you mount the dmg before trying to use the Disk Utility Restore operation" and the frickin copycat asshat answers something like "Thanks!" And you finally find one where somebody put in the comments field "Actually I always got a Disk Utility Burn error with a standard 4.7GB DVD, so I had to use a 8.5GB DVD-R DL. And it seems like maybe most of the folk posting all these helpful instructions have never ever tried them
