          If you would upgrade to the trunk build of FOG (i.e. pre-1.3.0) It is much easier to edit the pxe boot menu.

          I did write a tutorial for the trunk build to boot MDT from an iso image. Its the same concept as what you want to boot. You will need to have some basic linux skills to make it work since you will have to interact with linux to create a few directories, copy the iso image and change file permissions.

          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6284/booting-mdt-2013-litetouch-with-fog

          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!

              Trinity kit is very difficult to add to ipxe boot, I had to give up after trying several times because it would never work properly.

                It’s difficult…

                  This is what I have for my ubuntu entry

                  set ubuntu-url http://192.168.1.155/0-LINUXUBUNTU15.10/ubuntu
                  set nfs-url 192.168.1.155:/mnt/INSTALLERS/ISOFILES/0-LINUXUBUNTU15.10/ubuntu/
                  kernel ${ubuntu-url}/casper/vmlinuz.efi
                  initrd ${ubuntu-url}/casper/initrd.lz
                  imgargs vmlinuz.efi boot=casper vga=normal root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=${nfs-url} fetch=${ubuntu-url}/casper/filesystem.squashfs external-persistent locale=nl_BE.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=be mirror/country=BE
                  boot || echo failed to boot
                  prompt
                  goto MENU
                  

                  Also useful is

                  chain --autofree https://boot.netboot.xyz
                  

                  Allowing you to boot livecds hosted online.
