      I was searching for info of this project and I saw that the boot menu is editable but can I use html files to configure the boot menu like on other systems like opengnsys?

        can I use html files to configure the boot menu

        The quick answer is no…

        The boot menu is managed by the boot loader called iPXE. iPXE uses a batch/cmd/bash script like macro commands to build the FOG iPXE boot menu. Its not a html or other mark up language. If you have a fog server already running, go to your browser and key in http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=0 To actually view the iPXE script behind the FOG iPXE menu.

        Now with that said, that boot.php page referenced in the URL is responsible for creating the FOG iPXE menu. FOG is opensourced so you can do what ever you want to modify the FOG iPXE menu in that php page.

        Lastly FOG has a built in iPXE menu maker where you can add custom iPXE menu items to boot unique tasks. I have a tutorial on how to add menu items into FOG’'s boot menu to load installers for different operating systems over PXE boot https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images
        That page will give you examples on how to add entries to the boot menu.

        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!
