Cool!  Any problems with the bug mentioned in the release notes about 
/boot being written to a USB key, or does that only happen with 
diskboot.img?

http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.3

"When using diskboot.img to install from a USB drive, anaconda tries to 
install GRUB on the USB drive rather than on the local HDD. Removing the 
USB drive after getting into the GUI (before the partitioning section) 
works around this problem."

Would you be interested in doing a Wiki article on this, or alternately, 
would you approve if I used your material for one?

I already took the liberty of posting the procedure as an answer to a 
related thread on the Forum, with credit of course:

Thanks,
