Both of these may result in a proper image that has the ISO9660 filesystem and the HFS. You should be able to mount the ISO9660 file system with the image with /sbin/mount_cd9660 just the same.

Hybrid CDs on Big Sur
Hi, I have some older CDs that appear to be master with a Mac (HFS/HFS+) partition and a Windows (FAT32?) partition. Under BigSur (on M1), Finder and DiskUtility only seem to want to mount the Mac partition on these CDs and don’t seem to provide a way to access the Windows partition. I’ve been able to access the Windows partition by running on Linux running under an emulator, but this is somewhat clunky. Does anyone know of a way (perhaps through a port in macports) to mount the Windows partition on a hybrid CD? TIA, -ranga

Personally I think the idea of deleting the installer sucks, as it might be needed for e.g. a USB stick. I know, that's what Apple does, not MP... -- Dave

If the installer is deleted, it may eventually be downloaded again. To prevent this, one workaround suggested by https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/sj3aia/comment/hvcm3e4/ is to create an empty folder 'Install macOS Monterey.app' and lock it (either from "Get Info", or from the command line using `chflags uchg '/Applications/Install macOS Monterey.app/'`).
