      i feel i should point out that yesterday Tom and I came up with an idea and added it to the advanced.php file.
      [CODE]print “set fog-ip “.$FOGCore->getSetting(‘FOG_WEB_HOST’).”\n”;
      print “set fog-webroot “.basename($FOGCore->getSetting(‘FOG_WEB_ROOT’)).”\n”;
      [/CODE]
      have been added so that you may use the ipxe variables “fog-ip” and “fog-webroot” for the creation of menus. here is a usable example that you should be able to paste into your advanced menu setting field without modification.
      [CODE]:MENU
      menu
      item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
      item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
      item shell ipxe shell
      item return return to previous menu
      choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

      :ipxedemo
      chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php ||
      goto MENU

      :shell
      shell ||
      goto MENU

      :return
      chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
      prompt
      goto MENU

      autoboot[/CODE]

        item return return to previous menu
        choose --default WIN7PE64BIT --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

        :WIN7PE64BIT
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/ISO/Win7PE_x64.ISO
        chain memdisk iso raw ||
        goto MENU

          My only regret is that I can only give a post one ‘like’.

              Could someone do an entry for GParted? The [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_GParted’]Include Gparted[/URL] wiki page is out of date now and I can’t get the ISO to boot properly using the methods above.
              I get as far as the GParted grub menu but once I try to boot to gparted, I get pages of
              [CODE]modprobe: module unknown not found in modules.dep[/CODE]
              followed by a blackscreen.

              iPXE menu entry below
              [CODE]:gparted
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/ISO/gparted-live-0.18.0-2-i486.iso
              chain memdisk iso raw ||
              goto MENU[/CODE]

              I found this which appears to be the same issue (a memdisk issue) but I am not sure how to implement the fix.

                UPDATE; I got it working.
                I copied vmlinuz, initrd.img and filesystem.squashfs from gparted into /var/www/fog/gparted/
                and then updated my iPXE menu as follows:

                kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/vmlinuz
                initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/initrd.img
                imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/filesystem.squashfs
                boot[/CODE]

                All tested and working now.

                        okay. i saved the iso under var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso. but it doesnt work.

                            The client doesn’t understand paths on the fog server, only http paths.

                            :WIN7PE64BIT
                            initrd var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                            chain memdisk iso raw ||
                            goto MENU

                            Needs to be

                            :WIN7PE64BIT
                            initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                            chain memdisk iso raw ||
                            goto MENU

                            OR

                            :WIN7PE64BIT
                            initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                            chain memdisk iso raw ||
                            goto MENU

                            Both should tell the client to look in the same place, although the first form is preferable.

                            If this fails check your apache log, it will tell you where i is looking for the iso.

                                The log location is os dependent,

                                Debian based Location (normally)
                                /var/log/apache2
                                Redhat based Location (normally)
                                /var/log/httpd

                                there are 2 logs, access.log and error.log.

                                The messages you need will probably be in the access log, search for WindowsAIO.iso starting at the end, you should see a status 404, which says not found
                                You can test by typing the following in to your browser

                                [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://<fog_ip_address>/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                                replacing <fog_ip_address> with your fog server ip.

                                eg
                                [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://192.168.3.11/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                  my fog ip is 192.168.2.100

                                  is this correct? [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                  or [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${192.168.2.100}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                    the first of those two is correct, assuming that you have that file located in /var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                                    [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-ip}[/URL] is a variable set to your server’s IP, in your case “fog”
                                    [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-webroot}[/URL] is a variable set to the root of your fog installation, in your case “192.168.2.100”

                                      when i type [url]http://192.168.2.100/ISO/Windows8x64.iso[/url] it will start the download…i think it work but in the fog menu it goes direclty back to the menu.

                                        if you paste your advanced menu code here, i will help you troubleshoot it
                                        please use the “code” format button when doing so.

                                            omg… if the file is @ /var/www/ISO the fog search @ /var/www/fog/ISO

                                            and if the file is at /var/www/fog/ISO the fog search @ /var/www/ISO
