This feature requires a newer version of the anaconda package than the one provided by the CentOS 5 official tree (liveinst binary). Since CentOS is supporting its packages for 7 years, introducing a new version of a critial package such as anaconda and providing support for it would be unrealistic. However, I tested and documented the installation from a live media: https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/InstallToHardDrive Maybe this feature could be added to the 'unsupported' branch of the CentOS LiveCD project. -- Patrice
