{{NeedsExpantion}}
<b>NOTE:</b> This is for Fedora 14 ONLY and needs updated == How to reflect Amahi 7 specifics.Run Netboot ==
<b>WARNING:</b> We are working on Amahi netboot and After installing the associated apps for Amahi 7. Please do not attempt install unless you are an advanced user and willing to manually configure it all yourself. Currently it is not PRODUCTION readyapp, but is on the list edit to be updated. No guarantee it will work or is complete.add boot entries:
vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
 
Making bootable images of various OSs is not trivial. It involves precise setup of files in a web server or NFS share or other way to serve files in your network (or in some cases, off the internet).
 
== Example Configuration ==
We were able Suppose that you want to develop this integration of what used to be PXEKnife, but it's better named as Amahi Netboot, to provide the feature of booting multiple CD/DVD images boot a Linux OS over the network, say Fedora 22.
Please take it for a spin:This is the configuration you need in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
It should not break your HDA and as a little example of what this can do, we included the famous memtest86+ memory test label linux menu label Install or upgrade Fedora 22 menu default kernel fedora22/vmlinuz append initrd=fedora22/initrd. See if you can run it by booting off the network after you install the packageimg repo=<nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os</nowiki>
yum -y install amahi-netboot​Then you need two files (vmlinuz and initrd.img) inside a directory called fedora22:
If this works well, we will be able to package other things as apps that are net-bootable! cd /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ mkdir fedora22 cd fedora22 wget <nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/isolinux/vmlinuz</nowiki> wget <nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os/isolinux/initrd.img</nowiki>
Edit With that configuration, you should be able to add boot entries: vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/defaultFedora 22 off your network and install from it!
If course, rather then the repo being remote, you can also install from a local repo. For example, if you can make the one form the CD/DVD available in the file system, or via a local web server (This needs e.g. a simple web app pointing to the repo). The configuration will need to change accordingly.
