[[Include any ISO in the FOG Bootmenu]]
For this example, We will be using Fedora 21 Server - however for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions you should only need to change the web directory paths to (maybe?) exclude the /html/ part.
 
 
 
Please note that the below wget URL will likely need updated to a current URL for the latest DBAN iso.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here is a '''step-by-step explanation''' of what the '''below commands''' do:
 
 
 
*Make a directory called iso in the root directory.
 
 
 
*Make a directory in the web folder called dban
 
 
 
*Get the latest copy of dban (URL likely needs updated) and put it into the iso directory.
 
 
 
*Mount the iso to the dban web directory as read-only (must be read only for ISOs).
 
 
 
 
 
These commands are executed on your FOG server via CLI with sudo or root permissions:
 
 
 
<pre>mkdir /iso
 
mkdir /var/www/html/dban
 
wget -O /iso/dban.iso http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dban/dban/dban-2.3.0/dban-2.3.0_i586.iso
 
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /iso/dban.iso /var/www/html/dban</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
If you've done the steps above correctly, you should be able to visit the directory in a web browser like so to see the files from the ISO:
 
 
 
<pre>x.x.x.x/dban</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
Now we must add a new entry to the FOG boot menu. For this, we will navigate in the FOG web UI to here:
 
 
 
FOG Configuration -> iPXE New Menu Entry
 
 
 
In this menu, you will add the below information.
 
 
 
 
 
Menu Item:  DBAN
 
 
 
Description: Boot and nuke (This is what the menu displays)
 
 
 
Parameters:
 
 
 
<pre>:DBAN
 
kernel ${boot_url}/dban/dban.bzi nuke="dwipe --autonuke" silent vga=785
 
boot</pre>
 
 
 
 
 
Menu Show with: All Hosts
 
 
 
 
 
It should look something like this when you're done:
 
 
 
[[file:DBAN_1.3.0.png]]

You may edit the nuke parameters as you need. There is a great thread in the forums on all the parameters here:
