i definitely had the same experience back then.  Anybody had luck with
simply dd a current CentOS iso.  I wonder if RedHat supports
ISOHybrid?

I have yet to EVER get that to work.
The closest I get is have it start the boot/install process, then ask where the 
media/itself is.  It forgets, and can't find the install media-- even though IT 
IS the install media.  I've never figured that out.   But, it is what it is.  
It does work nicely with the debian distros, such as Linux Mint though.
