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? ----- Original Message ----- | ----- Original Message ----- | | On Jul 28, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Karanbir Singh wrote: | | | | > hi guys, | | > | | > About a year or so back, there was some effort put into getting a | | > CentOS-5 image setup to work off boot.kernel.org and be able to | | > get | | > that | | > install process working.
