OUCH!!!!   Backup, backup, backup.   Aren't you glad you keep good backups?

I wonder how this would work - I believe the standard CentOS CD's will 
eventually time-out and just start booting as well (but of course they 
make a provision in the install procedure to prompt before formatting 
(among other things).

IIRC, the old BlueQuartz CD's would eventually continue with a boot and 
proceed to carpet-bomb the drive as well.
