When I upgrade FOG 1.4.4 to version 1.5.0, then the genisoimage, isolinux packages whill not be installed.
Because the file (/opt/fog/.fogsettings) is exists and the variable (packages) is defined in this file, the variable will not be overwritten (/opt/fog_1.5.0/lib/ubuntu/config.sh, row: 74.)

@veresh You can just add those two packages to the packages line in /opt/fog/.fogsettings if you want the FOG Installer to maintain those for you.
Here’s some information about the fogsettings file:

@Tom-Elliott Not sure if we should move this to bug reports? What do you think. Is there anything we can do within the installer to mitigate that situation?

[Tom Elliott]

@sebastian-roth I’m not aware of the install trying to install those packages by default.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Tom-Elliott You are right. I have been in a rush when I read and answered this one. Probably some kind of issue with packages Ubuntu is trying to update.

@veresh Please post the exact errors you see and we might be able to give you hints on how to solve this.

@wayne-workman
I know this, but this is not a nice/best solution to the problem.

Look at the change in the “lib/ubuntu/config.sh” file.
Why is genisoimage and issolinux package necessary?

@veresh The commit says the packages were added to enable compilation of iPXE binaries. As far as I understand the compiled iPXE binaries are (still?) pulled from the repository anyway, so I guess it’s to allow for updating (or modifying) the binaries manually without updating FOG
