I know, so does my EEEpc. But I used Unetbootin (a package that is available in Fedora (yum install unetbootin). It allows you to create a Live USB using any CD or DVD image. So for example, I could use unetbootin to get the CentOS 5.4 netinstall CD on my USB key without having to anything but selecting the iso and USB drive I want. You will need to run it with root privileges though. But basically put in the USB stick, fire up unetbootin and go from there. Once you reboot onto the USB key just select the first option in the unetbootin menu and it should launch the netinstall CD. You will probably have to plug it into a wired network as well, I have never had a netinstall disk working with wireless, especially in CentOS. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
