Installation • PXE Boot Integrating AMD64/i386 Variants?

PXE Boot Integrating AMD/i686 Variants? If you follow the directions, for expanding netboot.tar.gz into the path for the tftp server, you destroy the pxelinux.cfg/default menu system, overwriting the first uncompressed tz with the second. So how to do you integrate both variants?

For example... Say you expand netboot.tar.gz from AMD64 variant...
```
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 13 22:35 debian-installer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Feb 4 23:43 ldlinux.c32 -> debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/ldlinux.c32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb 4 23:43 pxelinux.0 -> debian-installer/amd64/pxelinux.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 4 23:43 pxelinux.cfg -> debian-installer/amd64/pxelinux.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Feb 4 23:43 splash.png -> debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens//splash.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Feb 4 23:43 version.info
```

Then expand the netboot.tar.gz from i686 variant...

```
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 4 23:43 debian-installer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Feb 4 23:43 ldlinux.c32 -> debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/ldlinux.c32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 4 23:43 pxelinux.0 -> debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 4 23:43 pxelinux.cfg -> debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Feb 4 23:43 splash.png -> debian-installer/i386/boot-screens//splash.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 Feb 4 23:43 version.info
```
Notice the pxelinux.cfg reference link is the same for both variants. Never mind the pxelinux.0 link is overwritten as well, etc.
