  @devsamit Alright. We can help you sort this out. First, I congratulate you on trying to setup FOG yourself, and I congratulate you again about seeking help here. That said, I would recommend you install (not upgrade) Ubuntu 16.04 on the laptop, and then install FOG 1.3.0 Release Candidate onto it. There are many reasons for this that I’d be glad to explain, but it’s quite a long list of reasons. So, install Ubuntu 16.04 (not upgrade). Then install FOG 1.3.0 RC via these instructions: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk You can adjust your existing DHCP server to give DHCP option 066 and 067. 066 is the FOG Server’s IP address. 067 should be undionly.kkpxe There is documentation on this process here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Modifying_existing_DHCP_server_to_work_with_FOG These steps if done without delay might take an hour.

  Is it possible to image a client from USB, without the FOG server?

  @utopia Thanks for your ‘essay’ (reply). I tried the other way around not very long ago (a ConeZilla image to FOG) but that did not work out very well and I ended up restoring the CZ image to a device and capturing in with FOG so I don’t think that FOG and CZ are interoparable yet. I will likely use your method to provision our engineer at the location, thank you.

  We need more information. What model of computer you’re trying to use matters a whole lot. The version of fog that you’re using means even more. What steps are you following for the USB Stick, exactly? We can’t help you unless we know a whole lot more details.
