So, in RHEL 6, they're protecting us against ourselves (we might not have copied everything). So with the FAT32 partition as it was, I then deleted everything on the second partition, and copied both DVDs onto it... and it's installing even as we speak. I suppose I need to submit a revised "how to build a USB key" for CentOS 6. And then there's the bug report I need to file: my only question being whether it's with CentOS, or upstream. Given this stupid bios, I had to make the USB key /dev/sda, so I told it not to install the bootloader. Went to reboot with linux rescue to install grub... and the same program that mounts the iso for the install, will *not* do that for linux rescue, and it wants images/install.img in the directory.... mark "ah, consistancy"
