OK Parted Magic works, Now what?

We can:

  • Add background with vesamenu.32
  • Add Layered Menus

Step 1: Get vesamenu.32

By default amahi-netboot doesn't install vesamenu.c32 which we need if we want to add backgrounds.

  • Two solutions:
    • Get syslinux 4.05. Problem is it comes with 2231 files and we only need a few.
    • Install syslinux from repositories and copy files from Link to syslinux files

Step 2: Get a background

Sample background:
Click image & Save as Splash.png

splash.png

move to "your share/pxelinux.cfg"

Step 3: Configure menu in pxelinux.cfg

  • Open file "default" in pxelinux.cfg and change 1st line
DEFAULT menu.c32

to: 

DEFAULT vesamenu.c32
MENU BACKGROUND pxelinux.cfg/Splash.png
  • Save it and start "test" vm should show:

Background.png

Step 4: Layered Menus

Still No Commandline!
