Hmmm "This will wipe your drive." normally means what it says it wipes your drive to be honest if it was me then I would skip centos and go for the uhuntu, it's designed for the netbook and from what I hear i runs like the clappers on the netbook.

For the record, I went there, got that, burned it to a medium,
and started an install. It came up with some startlingly strong caveat,
to the effect that "This will wipe your drive."
I took that to be so much more ubuntoid protecting me from
myself, and went ahead, taking for granted that the installer would give
me at least one choice which would preserve CentOS.
Ba-aa-aadd move. It meant what it said : never gave me any other
choice of anything, but went ahead and, sure enough, completely trashed
my CentOS install. After that, the machine ran UNR and only UNR, even
with thumbsticks in it. I finally ended up running DBAN against it -- and
am still looking for other, *NON*-ubuntoid distros ...
