Tom’s latest install instructions, with a few options on how to do it: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-now-considered-release-candidate.10331/#post-25806[/url]

i’m sorry for assuming you were running the latest beta. I have little experience with prior versions of fog and keep assuming that people are running the same software i am.

the “actual size of image” is already displayed in the image management view under the column “Image Size”
it is the size reported by the cloning software calculated at time of creation.
so this feature already exists.
the “size on server” however, would be handy, i agree.

fog is designed around deployment. it’s not really made to be a backup solution.

This feature is probably not enough public necessity for it to be included in the core. I have decided that I will probably add this feature with a plugin. I will share the plugin when I have it finished.

the kernels he is talking about are the ones that the fog server sends to clients when they network boot

tftp client is not installed by default in windows, add it in the “turn windows features on or off” section of “programs and features”

have you tested if the file on the tftp server is accessible ?

the tftp client being installed on windows is just so you can test the tftp server on the linux box

is your fog server your DHCP, or do you have a dedicated DHCP server you can change options 66 and 67 on, or are you using dnsmasq?

is your fog server acting as your DHCP server? i had assumed it wasn’t. if fog is your DHCP server, it should have been configured automatically by the prompts you were given during install. if fog is not your DHCP server, the configuration that needs changed in on your DHCP server.

[quote=“viper02, post: 25644, member: 23643”]there insnt a /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ file anymore…? should there be one in my tftpboot folder?[/quote]

no, we no longer use a configuration file in that location. the configuration file is now located in the root of the tftpboot folder, and the ipxe kernel should automatically find it. no configuration settings need to be set for it’s location

you stated that you have rebuilt a new server. has your DHCP been reconfigured for the new server?

i don’t believe it is used in 0.33b, it’s a holdover from when fog used pxelinux

is your browser blocking javascript?

check to make sure your tftp server service is running

Gparted may have wiped the partitions but not the boot sector. I haven’t used Gparted in a while and i’m not sure how GPT aware it is. Tom, does it sound possible that fog is seeing leftover bits of the GPT information in the boot sector, and looking for GPT, when the partitions are actually MBR?

the GPT formatted disk means that you installed windows with UEFI enabled, and it has configured the hard disk as such. if you wipe the drive and re-install windows like you did before, but under Legacy, your hard disk will not be configured as GPT.

it sounds to me like it would work if you wiped the drive and installed windows under legacy boot options.
