      I have installed fog over Ubuntu Server :
      Distributor ID: Ubuntu
      Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
      Release: 18.04
      Codename: bionic
      Hypervisor used: Virtual Box

      my personal computer (Ubuntu 19.10)
      Specs --> check t495

      It is running okay I guess.

      Can you advise me how to create netboot for the following OS Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop?

        I have a tutorial on how to (reuse) fog to be used as a netboot server here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images

        For PXE booting you need to have a dhcp server where you can configure dhcp options 66 and 67. If you are in a home lab with a soho router then you should install dnsmsaq onto your fog server to provide pxe boot info in place of your soho router. Your soho router will still provide dhcp services, just dnsmasq will provide the netboot into.

        As for virtual box settings, I don’t know.

        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!
