Developers Ed Install question

les_garten · May 13, 2007, 1:34 PM

Hello,
I attempted a developers ed install and it took something like 5 hours to install. I rebooted the machine and it started checking and updating again. After about 90 minutes I aborted and put the Live CD ver back on. **Here's my question:

If you "tough out" the Dev. install, does it get to where it boots up in a "reasonable" amount of time if you reboot it or shutdown?**
Awesome bit of Software by the way, you guys should be justifiably proud of your work here.

Thanx!

The developers edition will perform a checkout of the most recent pfsense files and create a local cvs copy on the first bootup. This can take some time when run for the first time. It will only check for differences when it's run the next time.

Hi,
So typically how much additional boot time?

Depends on cpuspeed and wan connection.

I have a 2 Gig Celeron and a 4 mbps connect. The reason I ask this is that the second time I booted it I scapped it after 90 minutes of checks. The connection seems throttles or bottlenecked at the server, in addition to the vast amount of checks.

I guess my real question is, somebody give me an idea of how long thier's takes to reboot?

I only have my brief experience to compare to, and I was in a hurry to get my network back online.

Is it 5 min, 10 min , 15 min, 30 min, or more. I just don't know what to expect.

Hi,
I was kinda coming to the same conclusion, tht I would need a development box to play around with, and not use it for my network access.
