[CentOS] Live CD iso

Hi folks

I'm just about to start using Centos again. I used it briefly a couple of years 
ago but found the switch to rpm a bit much after using deb for 5 years. Now 
there seem to be a lot of changes on the deb front so i'm going to try again 
with rpm.

I noticed that there is now a live CD (as well as the DVD) instead of the six 
CDs that i used before (iirc). I would just be grateful if someone could 
confirm that... i've been an xfce user so i was thinking that i've either got 
to go back to gnome and load the xfce desktop or use the DVD (and install xfce 
straight).

thanks
james
