Assumptions:

-have a working amahi installation
-

Step 1 Install amahi-netboot

bash code

In order to test various configurations it's a good idea to use Virtualbox on a "test" computer. I use my windows laptop connected by ethernet to home network.

On the "test machine" Install latest Virtualbox & extensionpack, notepad++, and 7zip

Step 3 Create a a new Virtualmachine

Click New Button-Next->Name=test->OS=Linux->Version=Other Linux-> Base memory size=depends on your system default=256 change to 512 Create new disk= default 8Gb is fine->Next VDI checked = default is fine ->Next Dynamically allocated=default is fine->Next Virtual Disk file location and size = default->Next Create Summary->Create

Step 4 Change Settings for your new "test" virutal machine

->Settings->System->Motherboard->Bootorder-> Check Network box and click up arrow to bring it to top Also ->Settings->Network->Adapter1->Change "NAT" to "Bridged adapter"
