Okay I've got some preliminary code that will do it, but I'd like a bit more detail as to how you plan on implementing it. Is there an intention to have a boot.centos.org server for which menu options that a user can choose from is selectable? i.e.
Boot CentOS 5 x32 Install Boot CentOS 5 x64 Install Boot CentOS 5 x32 Live Boot CentOS 5 x64 Live
Boot CentOS 6 x32 Install Boot CentOS 6 x64 Install Boot CentOS 5 x32 Live Boot CentOS 5 x64 Live
and then these choose the ISO from a mirror closest to them or would you just like a CD image that just net boots the appropriate version? What is it that you would like?
