Thanks.
More or less the answer I was hoping for.
My recollection had been that even when possible,
booting from USB involved black magic.

Some do, some don't. They all come with USB ports though.

I have a bunch of SD cards and a interface.
This should work:
download CentOS iso
dd it to an SD card through USB interface (as the entire volume, not to a file)
plug in SD card to USB port on laptop
turn on laptop
hit <escape>/<delete>/<F666>/<whatever> to get to BIOS
tell BIOS to boot from USB
follow instructions
Correct?
Will it still work if it has UEFI?
