Answers to common questions that really shouldn't have to be answered by Camino support/QA but nonetheless are asked too often....

Installing an Application from a Disk Image

Camino is distributed as a disk image, the standard software distribution format for Macintosh. This downloads as a compressed .dmg file. Double clicking it mounts a virtual "disk" (looks like a white hard drive), which contains the Camino application, a Read Me file, and Release Notes. To install, drag the application into your Applications folder, or any other folder on your hard drive. You may then eject the image by dragging it to the trash, throw away the original .dmg file, and add Camino to your dock if you wish.
