sorry. this doesn´t work for me.
does anyone has a step by step guide howto ad a iso or other programm to fog 1.2.0
i´m a beginner with fog and i don´t understand how the boot process works. -
If you would upgrade to the trunk build of FOG (i.e. pre-1.3.0) It is much easier to edit the pxe boot menu.
I did write a tutorial for the trunk build to boot MDT from an iso image. Its the same concept as what you want to boot. You will need to have some basic linux skills to make it work since you will have to interact with linux to create a few directories, copy the iso image and change file permissions.

Hi,Do you have still problems ?
Do you want my menu ? -
Trinity kit is very difficult to add to ipxe boot, I had to give up after trying several times because it would never work properly.

Hi,
I try as well to add linux live or other iso on my fog server…
It’s difficult…
Maybe we could shared here our searches to see what works or not !? -
This is what I have for my ubuntu entry
set ubuntu-url http://192.168.1.155/0-LINUXUBUNTU15.10/ubuntu set nfs-url 192.168.1.155:/mnt/INSTALLERS/ISOFILES/0-LINUXUBUNTU15.10/ubuntu/ kernel ${ubuntu-url}/casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd ${ubuntu-url}/casper/initrd.lz imgargs vmlinuz.efi boot=casper vga=normal root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=${nfs-url} fetch=${ubuntu-url}/casper/filesystem.squashfs external-persistent locale=nl_BE.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=be mirror/country=BE boot || echo failed to boot prompt goto MENU
Also useful is
chain --autofree https://boot.netboot.xyz
