<p><b>New page</b></p><div>It is very easy to customize your FOG server to match / reflect your place of work or taste.<br />
<br />
====Software and config needed====<br />
<br />
*FTP Software - [http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client] (I recommend that you use the .zip version of Filezilla so it is stand alone and portable)<br />
*TFTP password set / reset - [[http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Unable_to_connect_to_TFTP]]<br />
<br />
You should be able to connect to your servers IP address (a.k.a. the fog server ip) and enter the default username + password. If you can not connect please verify that you have the correct username + password set on your fog server.<br />
<br />
By default the correct user name and password are<br />
<br />
Username - '''fog'''<br />
<br />
Password - '''password'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
====Steps for editing and modifying the PXE background====<br />
<br />
* Connect to the ftp with your username and password and navigate to /tftpboot/fog directory<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
In this example I'm using mspaint to add TUX to the boot menu. However you can add / remove / modify it how ever you want '''as long as you stay within the 640x480 paramaters''' <br />

(please note that I am not trying to take credit away from Chuck Syperski or Jian Zhang. I am just trying to show you that it is possible to tweak the PXE boot menu so it can reflect your usage)<br />
<br />
* Upload the modified file to the same directory you downloaded it from ''/tftpboot/fog''<br />
