the LiveCD includes the netinstall images, so it does already have an
installer that can be used to start the install and then run it over the
wire - the advantage being, if you have reasonable internet connection
speeds to a centos mirror, you will only download the packages you
intend to install.
Having the liveCD around is always a good idea anyway
