Most .dmg software packages will mount what appears to be a disk onto your desktop. Once you install the software package by dragging it's icon into the Applications folder, you can then 'eject' the mount, and trash the .dmg.
If you want that particular Application that you just installed to be more readily available, you can drag it's icon down into your dock. The Application will remain in your Application folder. What you dragged into the dock is simply a link to the App.
I know what you're going thru. I've been there. ;-) Have fun along the way.
