FOG project: installation

FOG Project (http://fogproject.org) is a free imaging solution. To make a disk image for a computer is to copy it's hard drive while it is in a working state. Then if the computer should fail, you can always restore the operating system to a previously working version. If the hardware fails, this does not help! This saves a lot of work if you need to install Windows on many machines also built exactly the same. It works very well in a corporate environment when a volume license key (VLK) is used.

It is comparable to other imaging software. It runs on Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora) and images Windows machines like a charm. You must remember to setup the appropriate scope options and the whole server is managed through a web page.

FOG is free to download, but they also offer classes if you are near Springfield, IL.

I use a server 2008 as my DHCP server with options 66 and 67.
66 Address of FOG server
67 pxelinux.0

The commands I enter here are...
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeg...

tar -xzf fog_0.32.tar.gz

sudo vim /var/www/fog/commons/config.php
