      i’ll write a quick tutorial as soon as i have everything working. I guess i can’t use -no–describe in uefi, but i can allways use wimbot to boot to an envoirment and then mount iscsi devices and go from there.
      memdisk is a nice kernel but loading the ENTIRE iso into the ram is network consuming and big isos will eat up my ram at best.
      running from iscsi is the way to go! it’s like a physical device , but mounted virtually, via a network, it’s like using a pen, but -no-describe ruins some of the feautres i want to use, well… if i want to use it in uefi mode anyway.

      Nevermind, i went to ipxe and saw how sanboot works.
      So here’s what i found out:

      101 tutorials later, the simpliest way to get Fog to work as a IT Tools and OS’s deployment system is indeed with an iscsi device.

      So here’s what i did:

      Step1: Get a Synology or an Xpenology
      Step2: Create iScsi drive
      Step3: Mount the iScsi drive in your favourite OS and Clone / Install whatever you want it there, treat it as you were installing stuff on a drive you would like to have it bootable, in my case, i had a physical hard drive full of tools , windows installs, and even a partition with an instalation of windows so i can test everything out.
      Step4: After creating your Hard Drive just use Fog Project menu to say : Hey IPXE boot into this San device please.
      In my case i just added: sanboot iscsi:192.168.0.6::::iqn.2000-01.com.synology:SrSynology.Target-1.43ae68fcff , i’ll leave this one here but this one is leading into my xpenology, you will need to modify yours.
      Step3.5: i forgot you should enable multiple clients to access your drives, you can also make them read only if they are windows instalations or hiren’s boot or something, it works with everything and you don’t need to use the dreadful memdisk kernel that only works half o the time and it uses a bunch of unecessary ram.

      Anyway, many thanks to this comunity you guys were great , for now, i’m setup.

      A special thanks to George who was extremely helpful , it’s guys like you who make the internet awsome

      @vascomorais Seems like your question has mostly been answered, but I wanted to pipe in on your comment ‘I can ask the forum’. YES! These forums are amazing. There are numerous people(Including senior developers) that will respond quickly and intelligently and assist you with problems you have with the system. I can’t say enough good about this community.

      Hope FOG works for you, it’s been a lifesaver for me and my organization!
