- make the first partition active fdisk /dev/sd[c]1 then a, 1 and w to write and quit
I did this.
- format the usb stick with fat or ext3
I formatted it using mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
(b) ext3 : you will need to use extlinux work on the stick extlinux /dev/sd[c]1
I mounted the drive and did extlinux /media/disk
- I extract the isolinux folder from the dvd iso
I copied all the files from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/isolinux/ to the root directory of the usb drive.
- rename all isolinux to (a) syslinux - (b) extlinux
I renamed the isolinux.bin to extlinux.bin and isolinux.cfg to extlinux.cfg
- copy the dvd/cd iso(s) to your stick
I copied the iso to the root directory of the usb drive.
- normally you should get the same boot loader as when you
would pop in the cd/dvd, centos install will start loading necessary drivers and then you will have to chose hard disk install and point to the drive where your dvd/cd iso(s) are
I tried to boot off the usb drive and I get a message that it could not boot the operating system.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Neil

Ok, I forgot to mention if you decide to use extlinux, you will need to rename to extlinux.conf also, execute the command on the drive /dev/sdc, not the mounted partition Maybe time to make a script to do this work?
