→‎How to Run Netboot
We were able 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 over the net.{{NeedsUpdate}}
Please take it for a spin:{{AdvancedUsers}}{{NeedsExpantion}}
It should not break PBA and as a little example of what this can do, we included the famous memtest86+ memory test. See if you can run it by booting off the network after you install that RPM.== How to Run Netboot ==
If this works wellAfter installing the app, we will be able edit to package other things as apps that are net-bootable!add boot entries:
To add boot entries: vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
/usr/Making bootable images of various OSs is not trivial. It involves precise setup of files in a web server or NFS share/amahi-netboot/tftp/pxelinuxor other way to serve files in your network (or in some cases, off the internet).cfg/default
(This needs more documentation here!)== Example Configuration ==
= Things Suppose that can you want to boot from Amahi Netboot ==a Linux OS over the network, say Fedora 22.
This is the configuration you need in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
 
label linux
menu label Install or upgrade Fedora 22
menu default
kernel fedora22/vmlinuz
append initrd=fedora22/initrd.img repo=<nowiki>http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Workstation/x86_64/os</nowiki>
 
Then you need two files (vmlinuz and initrd.img) inside a directory called fedora22:
 
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>
 
With that configuration, you should be able to boot Fedora 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 (e.g. a simple web app pointing to the repo). The configuration will need to change accordingly. See more examples of [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config.html PXE Boot Configuration]
