The current livecd toolset for Fedora requires an updated anaconda package that is not available under CentOS/RHEL 5. This is the main problem preventing the use of the latest livecd-tools package under CentOS/RHEL 5. The anaconda package is taking care of the installation of the distribution. Since CentOS is supporting its packages for 7 years, introducing a new version of a critial package such as anaconda and providing support for it would be unrealistic. Hence, the official CentOS LiveCD is unable to support the latest livecd-tools.
