cobbler buildiso produces the same menu. To do it dynamically requires 
investing some more work in the Fedora-liveCD based "Cobber live CD" 
which I was working on a few
weeks ago. There is some black magic that needs to be done to make it 
interactive though. This is something I want to do but is on the back 
burner for a while. If someone would
like to have a go at it, I did add the code to koan to allow prompting 
for the live CD case -- the trick though is tweaking the actual live CD 
config to make it visable versus
just showing the login prompt, etc.

FWIW, The live CD does this, but all over HTTP, it doesn't need TFTP.
