Does anyone know if there are any plans to make a CentOS 5 Live CD, or better yet, if there is already one available? Thanks! Mark

I was able to make a live USB pendrive (Lexar FireFly) with the CentOS 4 Live CD, which I use as my primary OS, and plan on doing the same when the 5 Live CD is available. Mark

I basically followed the instructions posted in linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html and use the CentOS Live CD iso. I used a 2G Lexar FireFly (1G partition formatted via FAT for the LiveCD and 1G /home via ext3). If I need to transfer files, I will copy them to the FAT partition. I hope this helps! Mark
