Amahi-netboot

[wowstargate]

So I Installed Netboot, And Followed the tut on how to add the vesamenu.c32, And now when i try to pxe boot a client it hangs at "Trying to load /pxelinux.cfg/default"


But if I put Menu.c32 back in default file it boots fine.....Any ideas ?


Thanks

Mike

How do you add vesmenu.c32 - I cant for the life of me find any tutorial or info. Running Fedora

Did you check out the guidance in the wiki. It is a bit old, so not sure if it still works.

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

Two solutions:
Get syslinux 4.05. Problem is it comes with 2231 files and we only need a few.
Install syslinux from repositories and copy files from Link to syslinux files


This does not tell me how to get vesamenu.c32 to work so that I can have a picture as the background - it gives the 2 above solutions but fails to explain how??

Thanks in advance.

Ok, well sorry there is insufficient info there. Might have to rely on the internet. Not much interest in the PXE network booting lately.

Is there a reason why you want the graphical menu background? I personally don't care for my system as all I need is the menu options.
