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 network.

Please take it for a spin:

It should not break your HDA 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 the package:

bash code
​yum -y install amahi-netboot​​


If this works well, we will be able to package other things as apps that are net-bootable!

Edit to add boot entries:

bash code
​vi /usr/share/amahi-netboot/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default​


(This needs more documentation here!)
