[CentOS] Writable Centos LiveCD on Embeded Linux?

[Oliver Schulze L.]

Hi Stephen,
I read about the overlay feature in Fedora9, but I don't know if when 
the changes
to the FS are so big (like going from 5.1 to 5.2) the overlay will grow 
and grow
over time. And the overlay solution will require too much space.

Thanks
Oliver
