There are forums in languages other than English here. Look further down and see if there is one in a language you are more comfortable with.

Don't forget http://translate.google.com/ either.

OK now at least I write good
But it still does not help me
Like I said I want to install the Software on an old computer with 512 MB memory
700 MHz processor
How do I install it
I should add that on Windows or Linux
Or you can install it with no operating system
Why do I need to flash memory card
Can I install it on a hard disk
Why do I have some 512MB versions 1 GB 2 GB 3 GB 4 GB
What are the differences between various versions
Which version works best for my computer

Thanks for your help

You don't need flash card if you have harddrive
1g,2g & 4g editions are for cf-cards with different sizes of cards.

you can (and really should) use iso-edition with harddrive

you don't want to have windows or linux on same machine, because pfsense is going to wipe those out. pfsense runs on freebsd (Operation System)

Installation: download iso-image, burn it to optical media(commonly known cd/dvd) and boot with that. follow orders.

what is your native language, if there is same languages native speakers around to help you out

I speak Hebrew

List of downloadable files which one I should download
Files with extension "iso"  "img"
They have continued after like gz or gz.md5 or gz.sha256
How do I burn these files
Do I need to change their name?

After I burn it to disc
I just install it as I install an operating system?
What versions I should download?

[Metu69salemi]

just download iso.gz edition
There you still have possibility to download either i386(32 bit) or amd64(64 bit) editions

after you've downloaded the file unarchive it and burn it.
You do install it like operation system.

.md5 and .sha256 is for hash checking, it's very good habit to check downloaded file, atleast if it's operation system or executable

you don't have to rename those files at all

[firefox]

Process has several options
Standard Installation
Advanced installation {for those who want to configure itself}
And another thing that I do not remember

I chose the first option

Then I showed up 3 more options
Installing more than one processor
Installing without vga
Installation with etc etc etc

What to choose ?

and then after the install end
how do i Access the Management Screen ?

I went through the installation
I have a strange problem
I can not access the web interface from a PC with Linux

Is there a way to set up the router quickly

There's lots and lots of settings

is there an option to access the web interface from the computer the pfsense is install on
