ok np  ;)

Hoba tx a lot. You made my day :D Couldn't understand why it wouldn't work after RC3…

what did you do , because i'm having the same problem since upgrading to 1.0.1

I understand that IZarc is the problem here and like I said I was able to get it to work using the latest winrar. What I was asking for is a md5 hash of the ISO file itself INSIDE the .gz file that we download. I checked the md5 to see that all was right, but I can't burn that file so it was useless for me. It comes down to not being able to verify the integrity of the file you need to burn. Inclusion of the md5 hash of the actual ISO file that we need to burn in the future would be helpful. Thanks

Then scott is right.

Backup the config from your running system (diagnostics>backup/restore). Copy the config.xml up to a floppy or usbdrive (msdos formatted) to "/conf/config.xml". Then Bootup the Livecd with this media attached. The system will come up with the old config that was loaded from the media and will be useable immediately. Then run Option 99 to move everything over to the hdd (system will still be useable while doing the install). After it finished it will have a short downtime for the reboot. This way you only have downtime for 2 short reboots.

thanks, problem fixed with full reinstallation

Use firefox.

I'm not certain; it appears to execute twice in my system logs (relevant lines below)… ... Welcome to pfSense 1.0.1 on the 'embedded' platform... ... Executing rc.d items...

@syntax: I can only imagine that with the plethora of 1U racks without CD's flying around (like the Hacoms) that there would be some form of regular demand for this. Your forgot one more option. These devices can boot over ethernet. There are even prebuild VMware machines that you can fire up as server to boot the livecd over ethernet. Haven't tried this yet but it might be worth a try. Quickrun through the community vm's: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/74 http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/371

Problems have gone after a fresh reinstall of pfSense… Seems as if there's something weired going on with the update ;-)

Should not need to access the console again after a upgrade.

Thanks Scott

??? ??? ??? Really sounds funny to me… I also had a lot of ... not trouble ... but questions ... but that is normal with a "not stable" firewall version < 1.0 But now REALLY nearly everything works thanks to scotts and bills high speed patches  ;) <<< FTP helper ? Thanks for it to be there but you can surely switch it off and open up your ports, but why do you want a firewall then ? Perhaps use the IRC or forum and there are surely some guys that can help you… ? A very very very happy pfSense user

yip reboot has fixed sip logging and appears to have fixed the time. its a pc engines wrap i am pretty sure its 128 MB.

Thanks for the clarification.  I figured ALL the files/binaries were self contained within the tarball but your explanation makes sense (and I can see why that would not be the case)  :)

My apologies Hoba.  I will keep it in the mailing list.
