It seems that the live cd for 5 is no longer in existence. Is this an oversight or by design?

Not sure why, but 5.6 was the last CentOS-5 LiveCD built. The ISOs are still on
http://vault.centos.org/5.6/isos/
The CentOS-6 LiveCD/DVD ISOs are built as part of the distro build process. I expect one could still use the tools at
https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/
to produce one for CentOS-5 but I have not tried lately, having largely moved on to CentOS-6.

at CentOS-5.8 release time, people thought that it wasent worth doing the C5 livecd anymore since everyone was expected to be using centos-6 now for livecd type things.
If someone wants to step up and offer to help maintain the livecd for centos-5, I would be willing to add that into the release files

Hmmm, I see. I was looking for it since I needed to some extensive offline work on a 5 box before chrooting.

Given it is unlikely anyone will (I have never made one before and my itch has been scratched with 5.6), how about leaving the 5.6 live cd in the isos directory with the present and future 5.x releases?

there is the issue of a rather long SA / BA / EA list that applies to 5.8 content that isnt on there. Plus the hardware and other kernel improvements since 5.6 wont be available...
I *suspect* its about a day's worth of work for someone to get the c5 livecd stuff adopted. buildsystems and resources available on request within .centos.org ( well, the to-release stuff would haveto be built in the centos buildsystem anyway )

Vault is specifically for that purpose ... all released CD isos (live or otherwise) are there.
