== 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>
