In order for the FOG Client to boot on the hosts, it requires a kernel and a filesystem image containing its filesystem. Buildroot helps building the toolchain (uclibc) and generate that image with busybox and all the packages we need. This page will tell you how to build the filesystem on your own from SVN.
Contents
Debian 7
Debian update
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
install all essential package
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion git bison flex gettext texinfo zlib1g-dev uuid-dev ncurses-dev unzip libpci-dev libssl-dev
Download the relevant FOG source
svn checkout https://freeghost.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freeghost/trunk/src fogsrc
Download Buildroot
wget http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/buildroot-2014.08.tar.bz2 tar xjf buildroot-2014.08.tar.bz2
Copy source to Buildroot
cp -r fogsvn/buildroot/* buildroot-2014.08/ cd buildroot-2014.08 mv fog.buildroot.config.32 .config # or config.64 for 64 bits
build FOG file system
make menuconfig # This will download all the required packages from their sources, it's around 300 MB make source # All packages are now in buildroot-2014.08/dl/ So we compile: make # Here is our init.xz cp output/images/rootfs.ext2.xz init.xz
copy init.xz to your FOG server /tftpboot/fog/images/init_32.xz (or init.xz for 64 bits)
