My box have only 1 GB RAM. I don't know if this is enought to make a delta-cd-iso. What do you mean?
Depends on the CD data. Delta generation needs about three times the size of the data it is working on as memory. Just give it a try.
This is very problematic. There are not only rpms on the cd. We put also binarys for linux, windows and other OS on the image. And there are textfiles (txt and html) on the cd. If I understood your words in the right way, delta only works with the rpm-stuff. The binarys and the text-files don't become smaler.
No, that's wrong. The deltaiso algorithm also works with the other data on CD. It won't help you much if the data is compressed, though, as the delta between two compressed files (that are not identical) is quite big. As I said, just give it a try.
