I have an old server I just put 6.0 on (about 2 hours ago) and it only has CD drive. a netinstall CD works just fine. If you have a decent network connection, some time on your hands, or you want a minimal installation, that's the way to go.

Are the multiple CD images of CENTOS 6 available somewhere?
Earlier
versions had them.
Thanks

As far as I know, this was not planed, at least not yet. For now, all you can do is to use USB DVD and install from those.

I wish I could, but this machine can boot only from a CD, a diskette or a HardDrive. USB is not an option.
Boot with boot.iso http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Instal lation_Guide/Making_Minimal_Boot_Media.html
But you will have to find some way to get the rest of the install to the machine, such as A local hard, USB http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Instal lation_Guide/s1-begininstall-hd-x86.html NFS http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Instal lation_Guide/s1-begininstall-nfs-x86.html HTTP ... http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Instal lation_Guide/s1-installationmethod-x86.html
