How about a Readme file ( please propose something ) that would go into 
the ISOS directory on all machines ? eg: 
http://centos.mirror.netelligent.ca/centos/6/isos/x86_64/

that might be a good place to have a url pointing at the release notes, 
perhaps a few workds on what the sha sums are and how people can verify 
them, and the various media formats ( livecd, dvd, cd, netinstall, 
torrents ).

If you want to put something together, we could add that in right away. 
And I'll add a note to the release process to make sure its updated, 
maintained into the future releases.

right, that would be a bit of a journey down the road. Step 1 would be 
to find a solution to the PAE-needed issue, then make sure there is some 
mechanism in place ( manual or otherwise ) to carry that work forward 
into the updates, finally come up with a delivery ( install ) mechanism. 
It should just be a case of an alternative installer with the 
works-with-pae-absent kernel.
