OK Parted Magic works, Now what?

We can:

  • Add background with vesamenu.32
  • Add Layered Menus

Step 1: Get vesamenu.32

By default amahi-netboot doesn't install vesamenu.c32 which we need if we want to add backgrounds. Two solutions:

Link to syslinux files

Step 2: Get a background

Sample background: Right Click & Save image as Splash.png

splash.png

move to "your share/pxelinux.cfg"


Step 3: Configure menu in pxelinux.cfg

Open file "default" in pxelinux.cfg with notepad++

change 1st line

DEFAULT menu.c32

to:

 DEFAULT vesamenu.c32
 MENU BACKGROUND pxelinux.cfg/Splash.png

Save it and start "test" vm

should show:

Background.png


Ah! Sucki, Sucki!

Step 4: Layered Menus

Still No Commandline!
