no, i don't believe it's dead.
as for your boot floppy question: i'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a boot floppy for CentOS 4. the 2.6 kernel is too big. however, you can pull down this iso image:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/images/boot.iso
and burn it to a CD. documentation claims that you can boot from this CD and perform a network install.

Bootable CD installs are so last year!
I loaded CentOS4 from a USB thumbdrive. Yeah baby yeah!!!!

Really? I just got my first thumbdrive last month, what proceedure did you use for that? is there an online doc somewhere?
I want to get Centos installed on a 1Gig Flash card, but the smallest install possible using the Centos installer is bigger than this.
Using Debian its possible to get an install under 200 Megs, but Debian is a bit crap in that the quality control in the releases is very poor,
i.e. the installer keeps getting chuffed from one rev to the next....
Does anyone have any ideas on the best way for for this?
Additionally I would like to boot from an Encrypted file system on a regular hard disk, using a key on a compact flash card which I can remove once the machine has booted.
This would make my machines useless to anyone if they were stolen....

Go to the centos/4/os/i386/images/ on your favorite mirror. For example ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/centos/4/os/i386/images/ Read the README
This is a full disc image. Just cat it or dd it to your thumbdrive (often /dev/sda).
