archiso-pxe-server is not part anymore of pxe_nbd branch, so to setup 
the pxeserver

(inside the live enviroment:)
0) Boot the image in one that machine via USB or CD.
1) login as root
2) ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.7
3) route add default gw 192.168.0.1
4) pacman -Sy dnsmasq nbd
5) wget

6) chmod +x archiso-pxe-server
7) ./archiso-pxe-server (by default will get ip from eth0)

(from your machine, outside live enviroment)
0) mount .iso image in some place
1) pacman -Sy dnsmasq nbd
2) wget 
https://gist.github.com/raw/bdf14842039be27a022c/7598a4bab828584260f4f7d6fe86c417e696a155/archiso-pxe-server
3) chmod +x archiso-pxe-server
4) change BOOT= path in archiso-pxe-server where you have mounted the 
.iso plus "boot/" something like /mnt/iso/boot
5) ./archiso-pxe-server (by default will get ip from eth0)
