    We have 2 methods of developing you're own image.  The VMWare developers edition and the pfSense developers edition.

    We do not plan on adding more work to a already complicated/time cosnuming release process.

    swap will be nearly never used unless you run out of RAM, which shouldn't happen unless your RAM is too small for what you are trying to do.

    @christianb:

    I managed to get the install on a 2.5" disk.

    First I put the disk into my old laptop, and swapped out the intel2200bg card for an atheros one, so there would be two interfaces. PF sense intsalled, went through everything and hit 99 option for hdd install and even allocated 1gb of swap.

    Then put the 2.5" disk into the soekris, and interestingly console worked enough to tell me that it could not find the original LAN interface, but let me assign a new one, from there it was GUI all the way.

    It definately runs quicker from a GUI point of view, even though no swap space used as yet, I shall do some testing at some point to see if on HDD it works better under load. I have seen soekris have launched a version with 256mb of embedded memory BTW.

    Has there been any thought to having a dual HDD and CF install? with read-only on CF, swap and storage on HDD. Basically it could be a CF install, then a script similar to the one to allocate free space on a CF card, but to HDD, and add packages in the process?

    Thanks again for all your help, and look forward to seeing the usb boot version

    That's on my list of things I'd like to work on at some point (I've got a couple Nexcom that are spinning platters that are entirely unused right now).

    You can do manual upgrades for non embedded versions. For embedded versions we provide mini update files. These however only upgrade the webgui.

    I have tried again just now.
    This time i tried it with a bios update. Its 1.05 now.
    And im still having trouble installing pfsense 1.0 beta to my HD.
    I checked the bios settings and i set IDE to manual, Mode to LBA, PIO to mode4 and disabled UMDA for the master device on IDE1
    that has my toshiba 40gig HD connected to it.

    But i have installed pfsense ( through the Safe mode option ).
    After install I still have to boot pfsense in safe mode for it to run.
    If i let the boot loader run the default choice, pfsense will end with the messages that it cant mount the root partition.
    And wont start.

    Can keep it running in this safe mode?
    Are there only hardware related options 'off' or also network specific option 'off' ?

    Thnx for any help

    Thanks for reminding me what hoba said earlier in this thread.
    No, I did not have a serial cable plugged up.

    I tried to figure out how to connect a PC monitor to the serial port  :-[
    and then I remembered something I read about m0n0wall on a Soekris and a serial port,
    here: http://doc.m0n0.ch/quickstartsoekris/ under 3.2. Connecting to the Soekris serial console.

    The null modem cable that I used had only pins 2 and 3 crossed, for the rest it was
    different than the null modem cables described in http://www.nullmodem.com/NullModem.htm .
    However, with HyperTerminal under Windows XP and the following settings, 2400 bits per second,
    8 data bits, parity none, stop bits 1 and flow control hardware, I got some garbled output in the
    HyperTerminal window.

    Then I changed to the speed to 19200 bps, still garbled output.  Finally I found here
    http://www.fozzee.net/wrap/ that the default speed in m0n0wall is 9600 bps.  When I entered
    that in HyperTerminal for the serial connection to the router, I finally got the non-garbled boot
    messages in the HyperTerminal window.

    pfSense rocks. Thanks for making it. I like the traffic shaper very much.

    We shouldn't be vulnerable to this anyway as PF loads and will match first before ipfw.  PF will drop or otherwise scrub the ICMP before ipfw ever sees it.

    @RDS_Correia: What do you want to predicate?

    I REALLY know that these PRE…XXX-images aren't official Updates, nevertheless I'm interested in testing particular improvements as soon, as I can get them. And there are other users too, using these Images. So I think, it's ok to inform in this forum about running into problems with these images. Don't you think so?

    I haven't posted to blame Scott, or any of the developers.

    Alpha builds were labeled 0.xx
    Beta builds are 1.0betaX (for example for beta versions of 1.0)
    The files from the link I posted are more or less preview snapshots of the upcoming 1.0beta2.
    I can recommend using these as they solve some ftp issues and have several other bugfixes.
    Stability in my experience is no issue since around the 0.8x alphas and these were mostly freebsd related.
