      The thing is, not all iso are created equal. With some of them you’ll be able to do it easily and perfectly, others just plain won’t work and so on.

        @cnewman402 Quazz is absolutely right. ISOs are different and a lot of them need to be handled differently. See the different parameters for Hirens and Bitdefender here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

        With most ISOs you can find information on the internet on how to extract and boot those. Give it a try or let us know which ISO exactly you are trying to boot so we might be able to help.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          @cnewman402 The steps you posted are only for getting the dban iso onto the fog server. You’re not done there, FOG needs configured.

            Test and trials this morning on iso’s. I think I need to understand the menu entries, more specifically the parameters, and if they are always mandatory?
            If so can I utilize memdisk in an entry?
            Do I need to manually place a copy of memdisk in the directory or iso?

            (Linux noob) 🙂

              @cnewman402 Depends. Of course it’s mandatory to have an entry, but the parameters of such can be modified sometimes. Please post a screen shot of what you have.

                  @cnewman402 You need parameters.
                  You need to figure out where the kernel is on the ISO, and specify it. I don’t know where it is, but normally it ends with a .bzi extension.

                  Two files that stick out for kernel and init are vmlinuz and initrd.lzm that I see in the picture.

                  I don’t know if this will work (it’s just a guess), but put these in the parameters section:

                  :AVG
kernel http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/boot.cat
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/initrd.lzm
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/ldlinux.c32
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/libutil.c32
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/reboot.c32
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/syslinux.png
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/f1.msg
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/isolinux.bin
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/libcom32.c32
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
initrd http://${fog-ip}/avg/isolinux/vesamenu.c32
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
boot || read void

                  –EDIT–
                  updated the image args.

                      @cnewman402 the grab entries is a starting point.

                      I would try to boot the iso directly first. If that doesn’t work then dig into the iso and extract its content to a directory on the fog server and then checkout the syslinux config file or the grub config file

                        Im starting to see how the entries are created. Thank you for pointing out each bootable image is unique. I’ll continue to test and see how the different images work. Im pretty new to Linux, with just basic experience from working at a webhost company for a while.

                        Is it possible to use memdisk with iso’s in this build or is it mandatory to extract and build entry into each one?

                          @cnewman402 I did write a tutorial a bit ago about pxe booting a winpe disk that shows two examples. While its a bit off point of what you are doing right now it does show you the steps.
                          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6284/booting-mdt-2013-litetouch-with-fog

                          I also wrote one that shows how to boot the windows setup via a pxe boot.
                          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7765/pxe-booting-into-ms-windows-7-setup

                          Couple that with the FOG Wiki that Sebastian referenced
                          https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

                          That should get you started. Now understand each iso is different. The ones that are based on linux typically will have instructions on the provider web site on how to pxe boot them.

                          With that information you should be able to build your pxe boot menus nicely with the fog management gui.

                            @cnewman402 By the way, you don’t (and shouldn’t) put the item identifier :AVG (or similar) in parameters field, FOG will automatically generate the item name based on the Menu Item field (so make sure that one has no spaces or special characters to avoid potential issues)

                              @Sebastian-Roth I want to boot from Windows 7 iso:

                              item Win7AIK_EN Windows7_32
                              item shell ipxe shell
                              item return Return to Main Menu
                              choose --default Win7_32 target && goto ${target}

                              :Win7AIK_EN

                              goto MENU

                              :shell
                              shell ||

                              autoboot
                              …
                              But client hangs at “Loading Boot Sector…booting…” during boot.

                                  @xfirero That way won’t work (as you noticed). Windows will look for a cdrom (hardware) if you do it that way.
