Assumptions:
- You have a working amahi installation and can access the amahi Dashboard - You have a working "test" system running windows or another desktop os - both Both are networked using wired ethernet cables, at least while network booting - You have the urge to skip anything that has a box with commandline functions but are willing give it a try.
*Note: I've only been using amahi for a few weeks, so I'm not an expert by any means on linux, netbooting, or amahi and I don't work in the field. If I can get this running I think anybody can.
Step 1 Install amahi-netboot:
From the console or putty login to your hda as root and enter
{{Code| yum install amahi-netboot}}
*
Step 2 Setup your "test" computer:
It's useful to use a virtual machine on your "test" computer so you don't have to reboot every time.
Install latest Virtualbox & extensionpack and 7zip if you don't have them. I find notepad++ and putty handy also.
Step 3 Create a a new test Virtualmachine:
Click New Button-Next->Name=test->OS=Linux->Version=Other Linux->
Summary->Create
Step 4 Change Settings for your new "test" virutal machine enable network booting:
->Settings->System->Motherboard->Bootorder->
Step 5 Boot your "test" virtual machine:
You should see it startup and boot to the amahi-netboot menu.
