Is there a procedure to use an 8GIG thumbdrive to copy the centos 5.2 dvd contents to the thumbdrive then run isolinux (or something like it) and be able to use the thumbdrive as the install media?
Look for a file named usbkey.txt on your syslinux RPM. It has instructions on how to make a bootable USB key.
Basically you have to use "mkdiskimage" to format the USB with a special geometry, you have to use partition number 4, copy your contents there, and then run "syslinux" to create the boot sector.
