Of course, that's only the GUI -- at run-level 3 the FS is still mounted,
right?
Check your run-levels -- there may be one that has the features you want.
Otherwise, a Live CD (as previously suggested) sounds like a good way to
go. You can even get a Fedora Core Live, IIRC, and that would likely have
"maximum" compatibility with your Centos system...
