      I am testing Pfsense 1.2 RC4 on a Mini-Itx Commel LV602(PIII 1000Mhz) but i installed it on a 2GB USB PEN DRIVE.
      I works but its a bit slow ,is it possible to run the embedded version on a ordinary x86 architecture,are some sort of special steps needed ?
      I have written the image to the USB drive with  physdiskwrite, but it when i boot it it does not start.
      I remember reading something about a limitation of  physdiskwrite about drives above 800 Mb (i don't remember what was the problem)
      I have a 2 Gb pen because i wuold like to run some packages(Snort,NUT,etc)

      Don´t Try this @home go outside!

        you need a harddisk to use packages.
