FOG on CentOS Wiki contribution suggestion?
 

Hello,

I'd like to contribute a page on using FOG (FOG is a Linux-based, free
and open source computer imaging solution for Windows XP, Vista and 7
that ties together a few open-source tools with a php-based web
interface. http://www.fogproject.org/) running on CentOS. Currently have
3 FOG servers deployed on CentOS covering a large workload using an
existing Linux DHCP setup in a large University environment.

It will be basic walk through to install fog version 0.29/0.30 on a
CentOS server including making the extremely basic 3 changes
(http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_on_CentOS_5.3#Install ing_0.29_and_0.30),
while using an existing Linux DHCP server.

It might be suitable to be located under HowTo's > Misc or Non CentOS
Applications.

User name "AlexGoffe"

Cheers,
Alex

Would you be able to generalize it a bit more (for example only use the
latest versions of the script and CentOS), remove the How To install
CentOS part and things like that?

What really would be great if there would be an rpm of FOG, as we
generally frown upon source installs (I gather this is binary stuff,
though?). If not possible, please include an overview of what gets
installed where by the installer.

Generally: Cleanup, tell a bit about FOG and tell a bit more about the
installation process.

Regards,

Ralph

I have created the bulk of the document over at
http://wiki.centos.org/AlexGoffe, This is a basic "hand holding" guide
for a user to install fog 0.30 on centos 5.5, ideally aimed at users
with basic Linux experience. Anyone with FOG experience please chip in
with some further detail.

Many Thanks,
Alex

One thing I've seen (just skimmed over it once): There's no need to
explain on how to install rpmforge, it would be better to link ot the
instructions which already are on the wiki, as those also explain the
gotchas.

Regards,

Ralph

You're welcome. ;-)

It looks good enough to me. Just add a "Created by: AlexGoffe" (or
"Created and Maintained by: . . .") line. Further "de-fluffing" or
polishing can be done as things are noticed.

+1 from me.

Alan.
