= Step 1: Create share in amahi Amahi Dashboard: =*login ->Setup->Shares->New Share[[File:1-Createshare.PNG|right|500px|caption|]]Name: Call it tfpt/pxe or whatever you want
Location[[File:/usr/share/amahi1-netboot/tftpCreateshare.PNG|500px|caption|]]
*Note<ins>Name:This is where amahi-</ins> Call it ''' "netboot installs configuration files" ''' or ''' "pxe" ''' or ''' "tftp" ''' or whatever you want. I use ''' "pxe" '''.
<ins>Location:</ins> /usr/share/amahi-netboot/tftp  '''NOTE:''' This is where amahi-netboot installs configuration files *If you browse this folder you should see:*<pre>boot.msg*logo.16 *menu.c32 *other.conf*f2*memtest *minirooot.gz *pxelinux.0*vmlinuz *pxelinux.cfg folder</pre>
= Step 2: Add Parted Magic entry to menu: =
- * Navigate into pxlinux.cfg folder - * Right click on "default" file and edit with notepad++. You should see:{|border="1"|
<pre>DEFAULT menu.c32

Note the paths after KERNEL & INITRD images/pmagic/
Save and close file.

== Troubleshooting if it doesn't work: ==
* <ins>If you select Parted Magic and the screen just blinks</ins>
**Double check the KERNEL path in your menu entry:
<pre> KERNEL images/pmagic/bzImage</pre>
* <ins>If it starts and doesn't boot completely</ins>
**double Double check the INITRD menu entry <pre> INITRD images/pmagic/initrd.img</pre>
* <ins>Permissions problems: login as root in console or putty</ins>
<pre>cd /usr/share/amahi-netboot/
chown -Rc admin:admin tftp
chmod -Rc 755 tftp</pre>
* <ins>Still nothing, </ins>
