Yes, the idea would be to strip down CentOS to a livecd image with some space left for adding the mythtv packages (and their dependencies). There is already some work being done by Johnny and someone else I forgot his name (sorry!) to have CentOS liveXXX media, so when that's done it will probably "just" be a matter of comps editing and the like.
