Is there anything new on installing centos 5.1 on a 4G thumbdrive?
What about the number of writes to the flash? Is that still a problem?

Jerry,
Have you tried one of the live Distros on USB flash?
A live, or aka "portable executable", OS works well on USB as opposed to a normal distro of Centos.
I've found great utility in knoppix 5.0+ and the Fedora 7 live. FC7 (live) is a close cousin to CentOS 5.

There was an effort to release a live C5, but I lost track of it. Since RHEL isn't going in that direction, I don't expect (or want) to see a CentOS splinter group trying to pick up where RHEL is lacking.

hummm, there is a livecd for centos-5.0 and we are working on the livecd for 5.1, what gives you the impression that the project was scraped ?

My apologies. I took another look at my favorite mirror and there is one:

An ISO like this can easily be converted from ISOLINUX to SYSLINUX for booting on USB flash. To run any Linux on USB flash stick with a LIVE version.
Hi Mark,
I was just worried, perhaps we didnt communicate it well enough that there is a LiveCD around as well !!
