i tryed out this config, that don’t work:

#----------------------------------------
:MENU
menu
item --gap – ------------- Advanced Menu --------------
item XUBUNTU Boot to a xubuntu 14.04.1
item RETURN Return to the Top Menu
choose --default RETURN --timeout 30000 target && goto ${target}

:XUBUNTU
imgfetch [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso[/url]
boot memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:RETURN

prompt
goto MENU

autoboot

#----------------------------------------

where is the error?

What is the issue? Is it loading, not loading, what’s happening/or not happening?

gives a error, i found many examples but none howto boot ubuntu livecd instead a windows livecd.

exist a way to boot also a minimal linux kernel that make me able to mount and chroot local disks?

[fabritrento]

this version downloads the iso from server but the boot fails saying: “(intramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system”

:MENU
menu
item --gap – ------------- Advanced Menu --------------
item XUBUNTU Boot to a xubuntu 14.04.1
item RETURN Return to the Top Menu

:XUBUNTU
initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso[/url]
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:RETURN
