@syschuck I just stumbled upon this post again as I have been thinking about removing Mageia from the installer scripts altogether. But seems like you are still using it. As I have not heard back from you since my last answer I lost track of this and forgot to add php-curl.

I just added php-curl and removed liblzma-devel for Mageia installs. Will be in the next release.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks. Fog has become a critical piece server system for our engineering school’s loaner laptop program. We require students to have tablet PCs for the engineering program, and if for some reason their PC can be used, either because it is out for repair or other situations, we will loan them a system preloaded with the most used engineering applications.
When the system is returned, it gets immediately wiped and refreshed with a new copy using fog. Usually it takes less than 8min per system. Nothing works better. Also, Tom, all the developers and moderators have done an excellent job with the code, patches and suggestions. They deserve all of the praise.

@syschuck But I can guarantee the comment is done with a ‘#’ anyway.

Unless the files are not interchangable.

Awesome. I’ll give it a try on a fresh install of Mageia5 and see how it goes. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t build the database. I turned on debugging in mysql and could see that fog was restarting mysqld in the first part of the install, but when it came time to populate the database and create all of the tables and things, there was nothing. I had a previous version of fog on this system and it makes me think that there was something left-over after upgrading.
