        @tito026 I just looked at what I had on our fog server in the office. I have ubuntu desktop 17.10, and it does contain the vmlinuz.efi file only. This afternoon I’ll have time to setup a test to see if I can get it to work with netbooting.

        I can say what you have in the fog ipxe menu will not work. In a way you are chaining to ipxe.efi from inside ipxe.efi.

        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!

          @george1421 I tried to find the vmlinuz.efi but neither could not find it. I built a USB in mode Uefi with linix and this appears:

          linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdroom/pressed/linuxmint.seed boot=casper isoscan/filename=${iso_path} quiet splash -- 
          initrd casper/initrd.lz
          

          Maybe the uefi’s vmlinuz need this linuxmint.seed?

            @tito026 what the seed file is answers to the install questions. You are trying to run a live cd version right?

            Also the vmlinuz.efi I found was in the Ubuntu Desktop 17.10 DVD and not in linux mint.

                  @george1421 Well I have a working model with ubuntu, but its ugly. Using your linked document: https://www.downtowndougbrown.com/2017/03/hosting-ubuntu-16-04-desktop-live-install-iso-on-a-pxe-netboot-server-bios-and-uefi-simultaneously/

                  I need to work with it a bit more and then try with LM to get it working. But I think I have a path forward.

                      I try ubuntu 17 and it works
                      i install ubuntu in hyper-v
                      custom ubuntu
                      install systemback
                      make an iso
                      do what you said in the wiki to pxe boot mint
                      it works with master branch not in the dev-branch rc-10

                        I did get uefi net booting with secure boot enabled working. I updated the tutorial here [ https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11194/poc-using-fog-as-a-netboot-server/2 ] with the guidance.
