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.
That would be good yes, what sort of a setup is needed behind boot.centos.org ?
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?
Since you are looking into this, why dont you go ahead and make a recommendation - that would be a good place to start from. We can tweak / tune stuff from there onward. In terms of testing things, perhaps a single image that is directly usable would be an easy way to move forward, we can then later see whats involved in working through the mirrorlist.centos.org stuff to have closest-known-good-image come into play. How does that sound ?
