More detail?

If i go to Fog Configuration i have no ipxe men, but i have the pxe boot menu.
ubuntu-12.04.5-server-i386.
Fog 1.2.0 installed by using the install script (best practice) -
What exact revision do you have?
Fog 1.2.0-r???
-
I am really not a Linux person, so i downloaded Fog from the sourceforge page, V1.2.0.
And i cannot see the ipxe menu, i can see that Wolfbane are running the 1.3.0 version, so how do i upgrade? -
That clues us in a bit more. You are most likely the release of 1.2.0 which is revision 2094. This is the most stable release without going to beta versions. If you want to get updated to the beta versions please use one of the methods on this [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk’]wiki[/URL].
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk[/url]
Trunk is the most up-to-date at that point in time. Keep an eye out if you update to this. You are bound to hit issues and ussually if reported Tom(Senior Developer) will have it fixed in less than a day or so. This means constant updating for more features and fixes.
The extra menu items are in the trunk and thus why you do not have them. If you do not wish to update to the trunk you will have to edit your advanced menu. You will find examples here:

Thank you Wolf
It is up and running now! Awesome. -
In older versions i had a manual.gz, and a custom Default file in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg.
The main reason for this was to make it easy for Teachers on our Schools to image clients without register them in fog.
is it possible to do the same with Ipxe?I tryed to do this by ipxe but didnt get it right, my defalut file looks like this:
DEFAULT vesamenu.c32
MENU TITLE FOG Computer Cloning Solution
MENU BACKGROUND fog/bg.png
MENU MASTER PASSWD $somepass/
menu color title 1;36;44 #ffffffff #3BB9FF stdLABEL fog.local
localboot 0
MENU DEFAULT
MENU LABEL Boot from hard disk
TEXT HELP
Boot from the local hard drive.
If you are unsure, select this option.

If you are upgraded to SVN, you will not need this any more.

So i want to add parted magic to the menu, but when i open vesamenu.c32 with vi or vim it just looks like a bunch of scrambled garbage?
-linux noob (but learning and i like it)

I can try to help but if you’re on 1.2.0 you’re rather restricted to advanced menu. There is no need to edit any files on the server with the current setup.
