I think I see what you're asking.
If you start out at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5.3/isos/
i386/ and choose a mirror (say,
http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/5.3/isos/i386/)
you'll be presented with a list of the ISOs for CentOS.
What the netinstall is looking for is a few directories back and down
from this location.
By clicking on "Parent Directory" two times and drilling down into "os/
i386," THIS is directory path that you want to enter into the
netinstall part of the CentOS installer.
From the example mirror above, the first line would be...
mirrors.bluehost.com
and the second line would be...
centos/5.3os/i386
The installer goes into the "images" directory and downloads
"stage2.img" to continue with the net-based installation.
Hope that helps.
