          Thanks marzl for reply,

          I read the post on wiki, the script work only for FreeBSD i must have a FreeBSD machine??? or i can use LiveCD pfSense?

          The image "pfSense.img.gz" is the FULL image and i enlarge this for my CF 1Gb?

          Thanks  ::)

            I guess you can run this on a hdd installed pfsense as the livecd has no option fro writing the image. You can copy up the script and fetch your new image via the webgui diagnostics>command.

              hi hoba,

              But this procedure is for "Resize Embedded Flash Image" or "INSTALL FULL VERSION TO CF"???

              Thanks…

                    CF medias have a limited amount of write cycles and will wear out sooner or later if used in non readonly mode. It's not suggested to do a full install to a cf card. however if you really want to do it follow this guide: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=FullInstallOnWRAP

                        Packages are NOT SUPPORTED on embedded at all.
