Assumptions:

<b>NOTE:</b> -Step 1 Install amahi-netboot {{Code| yum install amahi-netboot}}This is for Fedora 14 ONLY and needs updated to reflect Amahi 7 specifics.
Step 2 Setup your "test machine"<ins>What is Netboot?</ins>__NOTOC__In order to test various configurations it's a good idea Amahi-netboot is the package that allows you to use Virtualbox on your amahi machine as a "test" computerPXE/Network Boot/tftp server with minimal configuration. 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-<ins>Name=test-What can it do?</ins>#Boot live cds#Install just about any OS=(Linux->Version=Other Linux->Base memory size=depends on your system default=256 change to 512Create new disk= default 8Gb is fine->Next, BSD, even Win XP/Vista/7)VDI checked = default is fine ->NextDynamically allocated=default is fine->NextVirtual Disk file location #Run Utility programs and size = default->NextCreateSummary->CreateCDs (Hiren's, Ultimate Boot CD)

 '''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.
