Step 1 Create share in amahi Dashboard:login ->Setup->Shares->New ShareName:Call it tfpt/pxe or whatever you want
Location:/usr/share/amahi-netboot/tftp
 **This is where netboot installs configuration files
If you browse this folder you should see:
*boot.msg, *logo.16, *menu.c32, *other.conf, *f2, *memtest *minirooot.gz, *pxelinux.0, *vmlinuz, and folder called *pxelinux.cfgfolder

- Navigate into pxlinux.cfg folder
- Right click on "default " file and edit with notepad++Should You should see:{|border="1"|<pre>DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 100 # start the default after 10 seconds
MENU LABEL Memtest86+ --->
kernel memtest/memtest86+-1.65
</pre>
|}

{|border="1"

<pre>
LABEL pmagic
MENU LABEL Parted Magic
APPEND noapic
INITRD images/pmagic/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=100000D

Note the paths after KERNEL & INITRD images/pmagic/
Save and close file.
  = Step 3 : Download Parted Magic pxe zip file of your choice found here :=
