Thank you to all for the very helpful info.
I have CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso downloaded.
My laptop on which I'll do the first install does not have a functioning 
dvd drive so it has to be usb install.
I installed Fedora 18 on it this way.
All the info I'm reading says I have to reformat my usb to a fat system, 
why? Is there any reason CentOS doesn't use ext formatting?
Also for some reason Brasero now does not burn to usb, I don't remember 
how I put the Fedora Iso on the USB.
Also it seems extremely complicated to create  a CentOS usb 
installation.

I read that the CentOS people aren't interested in end user but it seems 
that end user or non server computers may not have dvd drives for much 
longer, making CentOS out of reach of end users.
Seems like it's out of reach for now.
Thanks
Roger
