OK Parted Magic works, Now what?
We can:
- Add background with vesamenu.32
- Add Layered Menus
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
move to "your share/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:
Step 4: Layered Menus
Still No Commandline!
Go back to Tutorial 2
