 <b>WARNING:</b>  We are working on Amahi netboot and the associated apps for Amahi 7.  Please do not attempt install unless you are an advanced user and willing to manually configure it all yourself.  Currently it is not PRODUCTION ready, but is on the list to be updated.  No guarantee it will work or is complete.

 If this works well, we will be able to package other things as apps that are net-bootable!
