[CentOS-devel] Boot.Kernel.Org and CentOS

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?
