NOTE: This is for Fedora 14 ONLY and needs updated to reflect Amahi 7 specifics.

WARNING: We are working on Amahi netboot and 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 ready, but is on the list to be updated. No guarantee it will work or is complete.


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!)
