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: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
  • Problem: 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 with notepad++

change 1st line

DEFAULT menu.c32

to:

 DEFAULT vesamenu.c32
 MENU BACKGROUND pxelinux.cfg/Splash.png

Save it and start "test" vm

should show:

Step 4: Layered Menus

Still No Commandline!
