You don’t.

Driver support is nearly zero for 32bit Windows 8.

Kilpady,
I believe I saw something in the forums about UEFI support for 0.33. If not this would most likely be similar to how Mac’s Netboot. Those tutorials may help you quite a bit.

When I try to upload an image to our FOG server from a brand-new Acer W510 using FOG 0.32, the following message appears:
“Network boot IPV4: 00-60-6E-42-53-2A has been blocked by the current security policy”.
Something to do with UEFI, believe it is a new ways of booting an OS.

I have just found this link:

Only hurdle is now how to configure the Fog server to support UEFI PXE boot, not quite sure how to do this, any advise/assistance will be much appreciated.

Kind regards

I didn’t have to use a KMS server, I just specified a dummy key in the unattend xml I believe. It was a while ago because since fog .32 doesn’t work I haven’t bothered trying anymore, but my sysprep worked fine.

Apparently new pc’s don’t come with a license key at the side of the case, Microsoft is pulling the OEM-key from the BIOS. How does Fog 0.33 handles this?

If you want to test it out I’d suggest setting up a VM or test server as it’s really not ready for production.

Once you have a server setup (Ubuntu or whichever distro you choose), you’ll need to make sure that subversion (svn) is installed. Then just run the following command to pull down the current version of 0.33…
[CODE]svn co https://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freeghost/trunk /opt/freeghost[/CODE]
and run through the installer as root…
[CODE]cd /opt/freeghost/bin
./installfog.sh[/CODE]

If you have any feedback you’d like to provide, please use the [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/bugs-in-fog-0-33.631/’]Bugs in FOG 0.33[/URL] thread.

So Falko the beta has win 8 support?

Is there any info on upgrading your current server to v .33?

Where can you download the beta?
