It appears that the liveCD (CentOS-5.2-i386-LoveCD.iso that I downloaded late last week) does not contain either netcat or tcpdump. Given the frequent use of a livecd for testing and debugging, those would seem to be key tools that should be available.
Obviously a LiveCD can't contain everything anybody might ever want, but I'd give those two tools a pretty high priority; certainly much higher than, oh, sound-juicer, say, or openoffice.org-impress.
(See me *not* asking for emacs in this space. Well, unless there was actually spare space just sitting there.)
