its possible because when cdimage 'compresses' the files it doesnt use the same file more than twice. it justs references the location of the repeated file ... instead of having the same file 20 times, it just has the same file once with 19 references, thereby reducing the total filesize....so, to put it simply, it eliminates redundancy
