CentOS - Aug 2006 - centos 5 and pen drive installation

hi,

has there been any advanced features leaked about centos 5
being able to install on a pen drive or thumbdrive.

I've got a little application that would be great in the environment.

Thanks,

Jerry

Google for RHEL5 features.

I was under the impression that flash memory had a somewhat finite 
number of writes (relative to boring old hard disks) before the error 
rate started to quickly go south.  Is that no longer the case?  If not, 
flash ram and thumb drives are ridiculously cheap these days.  I just 
picked up a 2gig miniSD card for my mobile phone for about US$40.  That 
seems like *plenty* of space for a non-X server install with no moving 
parts and low power consumption.  :-)

Cheers,
