It allows me to continue easily with the rest of the installation and configuration. So having it on live cd would be fine as well.

When C6 is released I am going to create LiveCD with: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, krusader lvm (if it is not already in kernel but I think it is) mdmonitor gftp pidgin thunderbird xchat ktorrent d4x skype amarok-extras-freeworld smplayer nmap-frontend rdesktop tsclient k3b kdiff3 krename yumex gftp fuse-ntfs-3g isomaster system-config-lvm mc webmin shorewall ghostscript kmod-nvidia?(elrepo modules)? nvidia-x11-drv?(elrepo modules)? fglrx*?(elrepo modules)? gksu(or alternative) plnet-release (my own release package) madwifi+madwifi module with AR5007EG support. webmin shorewall non-free codecs Some things will not be added, some will, etc. List is from my LiveCD on CentOS 5.3 with added services: cups,haldaemon,mcstrans,NetworkManager,portmap,restorecond,mdmonitor You can download and use it: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos5-i386/CentOS-5.3-PLNet-i386-LiveCD.iso but be warned that it is not an Official LiveCD and that is contains custom packages from mine and other third-party repositories. And that my packages were not signed back then. Ljubomir

What's wrong with a few extra packages from EPEL?EPEL is not part of CentOS, that's what. Nothing per se is wrong with EPEL; it's just that the Official CentOS LiveCD needs to contain packages from the Official CentOS Repositories and nothing more. You should install Revisor, and master your own Live media with EPEL or ATrpms or ELrepo or rpmforge or remi or whatnot packages; it's not that hard.

The docs are on the FedoraProject's pages.
