      Hello,

      my first Entry. First to me, my name is Daniel, i’m 20 from Germany and i work as a computer scientist. Im starting to use Fogproject.
      Now to my question. Can you tell me stept by step how fogserver works, if the client pulls an image?
      I think this way:
      (Task is already active)

      1. Client is booting (NIC) (PXE)
      2. Client got IP from DHCP
      3. Fog detect MAC from Client and releases the active task
      4. Small linux-client starts on client
      5. Client communicate with Fogserver over NFS ?
      6. Client got Image over (T)FTP
      7. Complete

      Is this the right explanation?
      Tranks ahed!

      MFG

        No, it’s not correct…

        1. Client is booting with PXE:
          1.1. bootp
          1.2. download kernel + initrd over tftpd
          1.3. booting kernel + initrd
        2. kernel does dhcp request (no userspace dhcp!)
        3. kernel starts init
        4. init starts up services
        5. init starts fog-script
        6. fog-script collects some info and contacts server
        7. fog-script run task according to info from server
          8a) unicast: image over nfs
          8b) multicast: image over udpcast
        8. Client reports result to server and reboots
