livecd-tools

Creating Cent-OS 6.4 USB installer

  1. Create a single ext3 partition 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1'
  2. Install livecd-tools package 'yum install livecd-tools'. This may require rpmfusion-{free,nonfree} and/or epel.
  3. Use livecd-iso-to-disk to create bootable installer USB as 'livecd-iso-to-disk CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /dev/sdb1'
  4. Try to boot using '/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda /dev/sdb -m 1024 -vga std' and connect using 'vncviewer localhost:0'

The method works for both installation CD/DVD images and also for livecd images.
