      As you’re using DNSMASQ in a Proxy setup ( I imagine ) you’re absolutely correct that you need to either make a copy or link to undionly.0 (or whatever filename you’ve specified in the dnsmasq.conf file.)

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        @Tom-Elliott Yes it`s correct i use dnsmasq only with a proxy setup. Like i said a symlink to undionly.0 seems dont work … but a copy… seems illogical, eventually i have misspelled but i copy the line from the manual 😉
        ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0
        After that a PXE boot was not possible it cant find the file. With cp /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0 it works…

          @robin-masters Symbolic links have never worked for me in Fedora. I’ve always had to make a copy.

            Hi, try relative link instead absolute.

            ln -s undionly.kpxe undionly.0

                  Thx…for this.

                  Who maintained this page?https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_serverundefined

                  Under the text: "Make a symlink for the undionly.kpxe file so dnsmasq can find it. " eventually it`s better to use here the relative link it should work for all systems?

                    @Wayne-Workman , it’s for you.

                    It’s work for all system, I think it’s a tftpd server limitation.

                        I guess this is for security reasons. tftpd is not allowed to leave the “cage” of /tftpboot … not even to follow a symlink back into the cage. “Keep it local”.
