It must fit a CF card and my boss told me that try to put it in a 128

Once you trim it to <128MB... is it really CentOS anymore?
Might you be better off starting with something like Damn Small Linux or
DSL-N ( http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ ) which are already close to what
you want. A <128MB CentOS is not just trimming the fat. It's carving
off the skin, fat, and muscle, and leaving just the skeleton. Though to
get it that small, you might have to amputate a leg. ;-)
Also, once you've got it stripped down to the point where you need it,
you might be able to save even more space by punting a lot of the more
common unix tools and installing busybox instead.

Given how cheap 1 and 2gb flash devices are these days, it shouldn't
take a whole lot of effort to get a fully functional CentOS on a chip
without a gastric bypass. :)
