Easier way to keep your machine updated for Full Installations

JanZ

Nope. We only commit pfSense related files and helpers. The base FreeBSD files are not in cvs and therefore do not get sync'd. And since we do not have a compiler the standard way of keeping FreeBSD up to date will not work either. You are at the mercy of our update system.

So, the only way is to download full install, install it and upload config file… Quite an issue, since I have all on VLANs and nothing on "physical" interface... is there a way to upload config from console via CD/DVD/floppy/USB key ? That would be quite usefull...

Not uploading a config, but you can transfer a config to a msdos formatted removable device.
