Any pros vs cons on using a bootable USB thumb drive instead of CD/DVD ?
this might be the better solution as the images just grow larger and larger each update.
I find it much faster to install from USB.
I think that's an option I'm going to have to look into. I suppose you would mount the iso image, and copy the files directly to the USB flash drive?
There are apps/scripts that convert DVD/CD ISO file for use on USB thumb drive. There were even suggestions on one of centos mailing lists I think, and net is full of howto's.
So no, it is not just copy, You need it to boot the installer.
