How close is Centos (or the upstream) to being able to run with all but /var and /tmp readonly?
Don't know about CentOS. However there is Voyage Linux (derivative of Debian) that runs from an 'ro' filesystem + 'rw' files in ramfs.
you could use the centos liveCD as a basis for a ramdisk image ...
It is a thought.
However, for low storage (256MB CF), low mem (256MB), slower cpu (< 500 MHz) - VoyageLinux is a good fit. One can remount / 'rw' make the config changes, to make the changes persistent and then remount 'ro'.
