This is untested, however, Amahi 7 may be bootable via USB disk as follows:=Install Fedora=* copy Insert the image to a USB flash driveinto your server.* Now boot from it* when your server using the bootloader comes up, manually change USB flash drive. Some BIOS have function keys that allow you to choose the command line boot media. Others may require changes to replace this: inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Amahi\x207the BIOS.1\x20x86_64with inst.stage2=hd:sda1* Follow applicable [[Fedora_21_Server_Install|Fedora 21 Server]] or [[Fedora_21_Minimal_Install|Netinstall instructions]]<br />
That assumes sda1 is where the USB drive is coming up at boot time. Yours may be different.
<!--== UNetbootin based instructions (Fedora 14) ==
1. Setup a USB Flash Drive as you normally would using [http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ UNetbootin]
2. When UNetbootin has completed, exit but do not select the reboot option. Next copy the [[Express CD|Express CD]] ISO to the root of the USB Flash Drive. 3. Change the file syslinux.cfg to read as follows default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 menu title UNetbootin timeout 100<br b> label unetbootindefault menu label Default kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz append initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img ks=hdNOTE:sda1:/advanced.cfg quiet <br /b> label ubnentry0 menu label ^Expert install for Amahi headless - Graphic installer kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz append initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img ks=hd:sda1:/advanced.cfg quiet 4. Most likely '''hd:sda1''' commands from here on will need to be what your USB Flash Drive is assigned (the remaining instructions assume your USB Flash Drive is '''sda1''' and the hard drive you're installing to is''' sdb1''')executed as a privileged user* Boot up your target PC from the USB Flash Drive and choose Expert Install or let it time out - Depending on how you'll get to configured the same place either way. * Eventually the installer will complain that it can't find the Install Discusers at install, press '''[tab]''' until '''[Back]''' is highlighted and press '''[enter]'''. * When asked type of Installation Method, navigate you may need to Hard Drive and press precede them with '''[enter]''' * When asked partition where the installation files are, select '''/dev/sda1''' and press '''[enter]sudo'''(made user administrator)* When the graphical interface begins Otherwise, follow it through until you get will need to the partition editor. Deselect '''/dev/sda1''' and ensure that ''be 'sdb1''' is set to be the boot partition. Advanced users can configure their own partitions here, but recommend keeping it simple by choosing the option to use the entire drive. * Once the installer finishes, reboot. Remove the USB Flash Drive and it should boot in to a command line interface. At the login prompt enter root as the user and the password you defined during setup. * Issue an ifconfig and check to see whether you have an IP address or not. If you don't, issue a system-config-network and give your hda an ip address, gateway, dns etc and save and quit. Then issue a service network restart. * Finally, issue a hda-new-install [your setup code here], ignore the errors, let it run through and reboot when prompted.  5. You should now have an Amahi box.   '''NOTE:''' if you cannot login, try useradd admin && passwd admin to add a user to the fedora base system.-->
