@SSX4life SSX - can you send ti to me as well. I've got FOG running for imaging FROM remote workstations, but I'm stuck using it to actual "Install" an OS over the net. Specifically, I'm trying to load WMWare ESXi 3.5-5. All of the examples demo installing windows or various flavors of Linux, but they skip over the exact syslinux files needed and the fog dir naming conventions needed to make it work.
I would be more than willing to show you how! =) I'll work on a video detailing the step by step process needed to auto import 3rd party applications into FOG.
In the simplest terms you are creating an .img file of a DOS based program and launching it via PXE.
I've updated the video description as well as linked a test TFTP folder for you to try out. Give it a shot! =)

i don't know why u r talking about FOG.
U R just using Universal Network boot disk which your loaded though syslinux (PXE Linux). Any TFTP server is capable of doing it.

looks awesome, would be good to run PC CHeck over PXE :D and BIOS updates etc

You actually can do that! =)
Also it allows the remote installation of progams in Windows 7 using Bart PE and scripting. (still in beta).
More cool stuff on this to come.
I also just sent an email to SOlidsnake7820 about how to set this up... I haven't had time to document everything yet, so please be patient with me!
