… and don't forget to uncompress it first.

i think that the problem is that the PF images are for the Serial Output.
But the Thin Client has VGA Output.
How is it whith the installation of New Packages. Is this only possible on the PC version of PFsense or also on the embeded version?

The Hacom images are embedded with VGA output.

thank you for the link.
Is it possible to install also the packages on the embeded Images??

stephenw10

Yes, some packages are supported on NanoBSD but not all since you can't write to the disc continually.
Only those that are supported appear in the GUI.

So

I have Pfsense 2 RC3 (NO NANO) now running for more than 4 month on the Futro 210.
The result is that the Transmeta T5800 ist fast enough. I run a OpenVPN Server,IPSEC ( Side to Side) ,PPTP Server, SIP Proxy and about 20 Rules. With my Internet connection ( 13Mbit/1Mbit) i have a cpu load of 20-40%.

PFsense is installed on a 4GB Compact Flash Card.

maybe it helps when you are looking for a HomeFirewall.

I hope you upgraded the RAM because if you don't have enough and you are running the full pfSense install then swap is going to kill your CF card.

at the moment it Runs with 256MB. But i have 100MB free. But I will update to 512MB

Kampfwurst

So I updatet the memory. From the 512MB im using only ~20%

Better safe than sorry! ;)
How much swap are you using? It should be reported by the 'top' command or Diagnostics: System Acitivity: in the GUI (same thing).

Kampfwurst

not one %

stephenw10

Probably safe then. :)
