Ok I see what you mean, but I still do not understand how I can prompt the user for a kickstart file path, store their input in a variable, and then reference said variable when I pass the ks= kernel commandline option. I understand how the PXE menu works, but the problem is that our menu file is growing rapidly as we add distros, and I have been asked specifically to get it down to one default entry. If there is a way to reference the user's input (other than by using a label) then this can be easily accomplished. I do not think this is possible to do at this point, however.

tk_popup - Post a popup menu SYNOPSIS

This procedure posts a menu at a given position on the screen and configures Tk so that the menu and its cascaded children can be traversed with the mouse or the keyboard. Menu is the name of a menu widget and x and y are the root coordinates at which to display the menu. If entry is omitted or an empty string, the menu's upper left corner is positioned at the given point. Otherwise entry gives the index of an entry in menu and the menu will be positioned so that the entry is positioned over the given point. EXAMPLE
