Ok.. Im curious.. Can I install CentOS on a compact flash card, then 
have the MySQL on another drive? to have the compact flash like read 
only for the OS to boot from, then do the swap, mysql,etc from the other 
drive?  How hard would this be to do?
    
Yes, you can (of course). My backupserver boots from CF (only kernel
+initrd) and then continues from harddrive.

I do not have a howto here but if you search google, you'll probably
find a lot of them.

I have searched google, and all i get is more and more confused... Maybe I need to not go this route.  I was trying to get the CF as the system drive and keep the database on a seperate drive incase either failed.. seemed like it made sense at the time..
