Is there anything new on installing centos 5.1 on a 4G thumbdrive?

What about the number of writes to the flash? Is that still a problem?

Jerry,

Have you tried one of the live Distros on USB flash?

A live, or aka "portable executable", OS works well on USB as opposed to a normal distro of Centos.

I've found great utility in knoppix 5.0+ and the Fedora 7 live. FC7 (live) is a close cousin to CentOS 5.

There was an effort to release a live C5, but I lost track of it. Since RHEL isn't going in that direction, I don't expect (or want) to see a CentOS splinter group trying to pick up where RHEL is lacking.
