I basically followed the instructions posted in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html and use the CentOS Live CD iso. I used a 2G Lexar FireFly (1G partition formatted via FAT for the LiveCD and 1G /home via ext3). If I need to transfer files, I will copy them to the FAT partition. I hope this helps! Mark
