Hi

I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386,
copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1
on the device plugged it into my laptop  and it does not boot.

Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos?

I think you also need to add a boot sector to the drive. On my 64-bit system:

        #dd if=/usr/lib64/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc
