#Working Amahi HDA
#"test" system running windows or another desktop OS.
#Both are networked using wired ethernet cables, at least while network booting.
 
'''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.
From the console or putty login to your hda as root and enter
{{Code| yum -y install amahi-netboot}}
= Step 2: Setup your "test" computer =
On the "test" machine
Install latest Virtualbox & extensionpack and 7zip if you don't have them. I find notepad++ and putty handy also.[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/DownloadsVirtualbox] (to include extension pack).
= Step 3: Create a "test" Virtualmachine Virtual Machine =*Click New Button - Next->[[File:1createnew.png|none|500px|]]Name=test-> OS=Linux-> Version=Linux 2.6-<br>[[File:2vmname&amp;os.png|none|500px|]]

Create new disk= default 8Gb is fine-'''NOTE:''' Fedora 14/Amahi require 384MiB for graphical install. Otherwise cannot customize the partition layout in text mode install[[File:vmmemory.png|none|500px|]]<br>Next

*You should see it startup and boot to the amahi-netboot menu.

Go to [[Netboot_for_Noobs_Tutorial_2|Tutorial #2]]
If not,
*Double-check virtual machine settings *Reboot your server and start test virtual machine again *Go to forums and ask for help. My original post is here: [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3596 here]
