Good point. I got confused by this page, https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/InstallToHardDrive (the fault lies with me, not the page) which says the anaconda included in CentOS 5 does not support installing to a hard disk from the livecd, and to do so requires a newer version of anaconda than is available for CentOS. Why is that? What is it about the anaconda in the stock CentOS 5 that doesn't support installing from the livecd to the hard drive? My case is probably different than what the above page is addressing, but I'm trying to understand how it all works. Thanks.
The page you are referencing explains the following: the CentOS 5 anaconda package does not include the "liveinst" utility. This utility is used to install an OS directly from the LiveCD in a way similar to the normal installation of a system (with anaconda in graphical or text mode).
