Packages support on embedded boards (cf), when?
-
Soekris will run fine on the normal non-embedded build (although I don't recall if I ever had to enable serial console or not - technically serial is the head and I believe it "just worked"). WRAP won't, something about how it doesn't emulate VGA I think.

I need to do a consultation: in the version beta2 embedded for plates wrap loaded in a cf of 1 gb does squid work?, if it(he,she) is like that which is the version that I have to lower, her(it) beta2 embedded or her(it) beta1snapshot? thanks.
-
There is no support for packages on embedded builds and there won't be in 1.0. No decision for 1.1 yet but squid on a cf is a really bad idea as it will kill the card pretty soon (limited writecycles for cf-cards).
-
Thank you Hoba, now well, if I cannot use the squid with the plates wrap, probably serious better porner a tiny cf and puts the monowall that is an almost the same thing and to do proxy with the pc one below(down) of the tower, vos that you advise me? I need if or if to do proxy since I have a limited bandwidth 512kb for 25 users, graces(thanks) again(afresh). Pardon for my Englishman, but I use a translator online

You can continue using pfSense. The embedded build can run off from a 64mb CF-Card already and it has some features that m0n0 doesn't have. For example you could redirect all outgoing requests for port 80 to your proxy (that is one of the things m0n0 doesn't support for example), but as you want to run the proxy now at another machine, why not using that machine for your pfSense and install it to hdd? Then you would be able to use the squid package.

Ok then:
- Monowall in warp as(like) router/firwall in the tower
- Pfsense in pc only to use the squid in the switch
thanks

I have juste test pfsense on a Soekris NET4801 with a 256mb.
I have a professional grade CF card so I think it's like a hard drive ? (it's just ?).
In the future I will need to have some package like :
-Portman
-Freeradius
-AsteriskIt's possible to have this functionality in the future or I will need to make my own distribution.
I think that this 3 packages will not use a lot of disk write.Thanks for your help.

This isn't going to happen anytime soon. I'd love to have it too on my 4801, but I'm not willing to invest the time in making it work when there are so many other projects of more interest to me. Packages for embedded platforms will be disabled for 1.0 ship - past that is anyones guess. I can say that no current developer is working on enabling them, be our guest and work on it.

No it is not. Professional grade CF Cards - I also like them, e.g. Transcend industrial types (real fast) - just have greater read/write cycles (about 10 times more than normal customer-grades I heard from Transcend). So they speak of about 1.000 times for a normal and about 10.000 times for an industrial grade card. Nontheless this is not like having some sort of IBM microdrive or a 2,5" notebook HDD.
For such purpose I would recommend the Soekris 4801 and a 2,5" HDD - works just fine.

Which reminds me, it's time to put my 6GB drive back in my soekris after doing an install to it on my laptop so I can play around with packages (poor poor box) :)
