 +===== Installing the AoE target software =====
 +
 +If you do not have dedicated AoE target hardware, you will need to install the //vblade// package. ​ Most distros seem to provide this package; if yours doesn'​t then you can download the source for the latest version from [[http://​sourceforge.net/​project/​showfiles.php?​group_id=130453&​package_id=143790]].

 +===== Adding an AoE target image =====

 +
 +where //ethX// is the network device via which you want to serve the image, ///​path/​to/​image/​file.img//​ is the path to the disk image file, and //N M// is a unique AoE shelf:slot number within your network. ​ (If this is the only AoE target disk you are setting up, just use //0 0//.)
 +
 +The AoE target name for this disk image is
 +
 +   eN.M
 +
 +where //N// and //M// are the shelf and slot numbers you specified in ///​etc/​vblade.conf//​. ​ For example, if your ///​etc/​vblade.conf//​ line reads
 +
 +    eth2 0 0 /​var/​lib/​images/​win2k3.img
 +
 +then the AoE target name is
 +
 +    e0.0
 +
 +Make a note of this AoE target name.  You are now ready to
