usb keys work fine as driver disks on centos-5, the .dd image can be 
loop mounted and the contents copied out onto the root of a usb-key.

also, its not 'linuxdd' its 'linux dd'

You can also give dd the remote network location for the driver disk, eg 
dd=http://foo/bar.dd.img : Does not work well, if its the network 
interface you need the dd for :D
