      @Wayne-Workman Can you install FOG directly from the TRUNK install? If so, I think I will start from that next time.

      @Wayne-Workman I did the upgrade (why can’t I get internet and fog to work at the same time - do I need 2 NIC’s?) Now it won’t start dnsmasq - tells me the IP addy in line 66 is in use. I am ready to quit for now. I have an appointment with my granddaughter for the next week two states north of here. I will re-install everything and begin anew when I get back as I have seen fit to break everything I have touched so far in the last two days. I will keep a tally of the ideas and suggestions I find here so perhaps next round I might succeed. @RileyG

      @Wayne-Workman Hard to tell. This lab was imaged last year from a single and then all set individually touched to update and change names etc. Did you catch the update? The machine is reporting BOOTMGR is missing. I may pull the drive and check it as a USB attached to see what is has on it.

      @RileyG Here is a picture of the windows computer listing (from when I try to ‘fix’ the problem via the windows boot media - http://www.walnuthedgehog.com/stuff/JustForFun/0728151017.jpg It shows that now there are 3 partitions instead of 2.
      😄 74.4G, System Reserved (D:) 99.9MB, and a Boot (X:) of 31.4MB.
      Where did the X drive come from? is this something I need to account for before I completely rebuild this machine (again)?

      It is a load we do from a windows 7 educational license set - to keep the add-ons to a minimum.

      PXE booting a small form Dell Optiplex 755, I got the FOG menu and after one bad attempt, got the ‘quick’ registration done.

      I scheduled an upload of that machine and it worked.

      Upon rebooting the Dell Optiplex 755, it reports BOOTMGR is missing. {edited 7/28/15}

      What did I do wrong?

      FOG SERVER:
      Optiplex 745 (Intel Core 2) with 4G ram
      Ubuntu server 14.04 with JUST the desktop loaded.
      FOG 1.2.0
      NO DHCP turned on (I cannot touch the windows server DHCP settings)
      I followed the “Using FOG with an unmodifiable DHCP server/ Using FOG with no DHCP server” directions, with the se changes:
      enable-tftp
      dhcp-boot=undionly.kkpxe,x.x.x.x
