Karanbir,

<http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15> would be one
place.  But, given the way search engines might index pages, people
could bypass that page and land directly on the mirrors page,
<http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13>, and so miss
the warning altogether.

For this reason, and because it's the only sure-fire way to get the
warning to those who would need it, it would be best if the directory
name and/or the ISO names themselves contained the warning, e.g.,
CentOS-6_0-PAE-required-*-.iso.

In addition, if it happens, per your other email in this thread, that
it's possible to offer another CentOS distribution which doesn't require
PAE, then we'd need a distinguishing name for those ISOs.
