  The needed code is only in the head-version (developement version of the next major version). It's not in the 1.x-series.

  The developer iso will do all this automatically once you install and boot it up in the background.  Be patient, it takes a while.

  the complete comand will be: diff -rub oldfile newfile > file.diff old file is the file u have downloaded from the pfsense cvs http://pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pfSense/ or from the pfsense package cvs if it is a package http://pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages/ new file is the oldfile + you chances file.diff is a file with in it only the chances you have made to the oldfile taken from the newfile this is the one pfsense core team want's

  Your running the developer edition.  It is targeted to pfSense/FreeBSD developers who may want to debug an issue. Compile a new kernel based on pfSense.6 if you want to get around it.  Search your dev edition /home directories for it and copy it to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/config/ See the FreeBSD handbook for more information related to kernel compiling.

  Is there anything special about an update image?  I just took the .img file I normally flash onto a CF, mounted that on my freebsd box, and tarred and gzip'd the root of that.  Are there certain files that should be removed from an update?  Is there any easy way to build an update from an existing image other than the way I did it?

  @dvserg: It's real html code. I store this from IE File->SaveAs and change only IP address my pfRouter to NICKname. I can give you any HTML code by any page from pfsense with UPcased tags along 1 minute time  ;). There you go - You should not save the page to a file to get the HTML source. Almost any browser modifies the original HTML code so the page still can be viewed locally. That means the HTML code that you did save to a file isn't equal to the HTML code displayed within your browser. To get the unmodified HTML source you should always use the view source option from the context menu of your browser. This context menu can be unveiled if right-clicking onto a HTML page that is currently beeing displayed in your browser window. Regards Daniel S. Haischt

  @Numbski: Anyhoo, I'll be patient.  Qemu won't be super fast, I know that. There's a good reason why Q (on OSX it's called Q and not Qemu which makes a difference) is kind of slow. It runs in pure emulation mode because the accelerators kqemu (closed source) or QVM86 (OS) didn't make it to OSX as of today. Regards Daniel S. Haischt

  @jeroen234: i don't have rw cd's only r cd's but if freebsd don't  suport this then you can never mount a cdrom rw like you are trying to do now with the cdrom image Dunno if FreeBSD supports the UDF filesystem, probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to find out.  Either way, that's not quite an ISO filesystem anyway :)  But it sounds like it can't mount an iso9660 fs as read/write (I was only pointing out that the prior example was mounting read only so it couldn't have worked regardless).  FYI, the flag for mounting as writeable is '-w' - dunno if it makes a difference, but it may be that -r takes precedence over -w in -rw. –Bill

  Yea will shere with those conditions: RADIUS autodiscovery, NAS self registration w/ discovered radius { Not GPL but I can make the service free for all, you just have to join my network (I cant build fuil for compettors, after all we are in ISP business ourselfs), got the scripr alredy, but its up to pfSense and Mono ppl to decide if they want to use this feature LCD Screen Support (will go public, will integrate software into Mono and psSense, the hardware will sale for reasonaby cheap price, we alcually have the harware I just need to to the soft and test it and them will print some board for some bestributors that i know) External Buttons for unit configs (same as LCD) PS: If some one need some features in hardware i mihjt include them at this stage.

  This is going to qualify as a DDH (damn dirty hack), but what else am I good at? ;) If you guys are at all familiar with the Tivo, they don't make the unit hackable on purpose.  In fact, you have to go to an awful lot of trouble in order to be able to play with the thing at all!  You have to kill the initrd process at boot time, and have to load a kernel other than theirs….however the unit will ONLY boot theirs. The solution to this is something called monte.  monte allows you to switch kernels entirely after the boot process has loaded the kernel initially. You could in theory compile monte to execute on the linux you got to load, and then monte to your pfSense kernel, could you not?  Assembler isn't my strong point here, so feel free to jump in and stomp on me if I've entirely missed the problem. Here's the sourceforge link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/monte/

  @jeroen234: and if you copy it to a normal dir afther mounting ? Well, if we're talking the pfSense ISO, no need to mount it. It's there already after a build_iso.sh. Just modify the 'source tree', and execute the last couple of commands in this script file by hand.

I've used cvsup_bsdinstaller and it works, but by the installscreen it wait endless for the backend :( So i prob is gone, another is there ;) But before a few days (10-14) this probs aren't there. All works nice and no probs. But i hope i find the prob and fix it. If i find answer i will tell you. But thanks for the idea and for the good work Bye Thomas

  @rsw686: I see what your saying, but the asterik underline isn't being called by gettext in the original code. I know that the menu on my ip330 takes 3-5 seconds to show up. Probably from all the individual gettext function calls. That's the point, it should.  When translating to Chinese or Japanese the asterisk line looks silly as its too short. Anyway another feature which I should include a patch for is only displaying the SSH logout for SSH connections, easy to do: if (\$_ENV['SSH_CLIENT']) echo    _('0) Logout')

  I think this problem is similar to how to deal with JavaScript in web pages.  The preferred method should not be to detect the platform but to detect the features.  For instance ask what are the real reasons for requiring a platform tag?  The main ones are for the kernel and for system upgrades.  Both of these are available with the kernel ident.  For other situations where the platform tag is used they can be replaced by feature detection.  For example /dev/ttyv0 does not exist on embedded platforms, and /dev/ttyd0 will not exist on strange platforms without a serial port.  CD-ROM based environments can be detected because the root file system is a cd9660 mount point, NFS debug environments can be detected similarly, and HDD/CF installs will have a /dev/ufs GEOM label root fs.

  If you're at it: Could you check if it would be possible to include a small fix for the name of the device (name.domain) shown in the head section in all templates to allow a bit more space? My devicename isn't that long, but the customers intranet has a FQDN which is quite a bit and the TLD just peeks out at the right. So his ".com" is shown on the dark background instead of the nice red one. (I know 36 chars are long! but sometimes it has to be ;)) It's just a small thing, but as you already commit changes… :)

  @MrMoo: One possble alternative is to merge alternative kernels into pfSenses package system, i.e. download an optimised kernel for your configuration option. We too can be ricers.  Not sure that I like this.

  @sullrich: FreeSBIE 2 ignores the build if its already done.  Not sure what you mean: Building world for i386 architecture NO_BUILDWORLD set, skipping build Building kernel for i386 architecture NO_BUILDKERNEL set, skipping build Installing world for i386 architecture Making hierarchy Are you sure you are running FreeSBIE 2 (not 1)? It is FreeSBIE 2, but I guess i'm working with buildworld/buildkernel in not the best way possible.  I'll work on it a bit to see why.

  I've been at this for a long while and I can tell you that FreeSBIE 2 is the absolute goodz.  But then again I am a FreeSBIE commiter, so I am biased and know the code extremely well.
