Can anyone please point me to a link with instructions on how to install CentOS 5 onto a USB flash drive, preferably from Windows? I would like to create a full running CentOS installation (with minimal packages obviously) that runs off a USB flash drive, and I don't have a Linux machine to use for this installation right now.
Why not just boot from the CentOS DVD and do a normal install on the USB drive? But watch out not to "burn out" you USB drive (limited number of writes).

I don't have a DVD, nor any blank DVD's to write it to, but only an ISO :) But it's fine, I've setup a Linux server with PXE and will (when i have time again) do the install over the network.
