I may be wrong, but I don't think there is a facility
to install the LiveCD itself, as there is with Fedora, for example.
There used to be a facility (with CentOS-5.5 LiveCD)
to start a network installation,
by pressing SPACE while booting the LiveCD.
However, this has now been removed, apparently because
it might encourage people to install from remote sites,
which is said to be likely to fail.
In my experience it was safe and easy to install from the CentOS DVD ISO
on a local machine, with NFS.
So I for one consider the change to be a backward step.
