I'll find a USB DVD drive and use that, until a hybrid ISO becomes available.

this has worked for me, using a Windows machine to prep the USB stick http://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29829

and this tool was even easier to use, you can setup the USB stick on either a windows or linux box. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

I nearly always use the CentOS 6 MINIMAL install, its hardly bigger than the NETINSTALL, and less hassle to setup. once its up and running, I yum install anything else I need. I prefer minimal installs to very comprehensive ones, yum updates are much faster when you aren't updating tons of packages you'll never use.
