Right,

And there are a couple other packages too (pykickstart, dosfstools and 
syslinux) that are modified. For the most part the modified version 
works just fine, but there are things about it that are not officially 
supported.

It should be stated the the purpose of the live CD is NOT to install 
centos (unless you want to, as a convenience use the Network install 
provided on there, which is fully supported) ... but to use to test your 
hardware and to use as a recovery disc.

Thanks,
