Copying pfSense-2.0-RELEASE-2g-i386-nanobsd.img.gz to CD-ROM
-
I am new so I may be missing something.
I have downloaded the above file and expanded it but the expanded file size is more than a CD-ROM. All the instructions talk about copying the image file to a CD-ROM for a Live install but I think it needs to go to a DVD rather than a CD-ROM. Is this correct?
I assume that all I have to do is change the extenstion from .img to .iso and it should boot. Is this correct?
I want a Live CD to try out as i am looking at replacing my ZoneCD as it would appear that PublicIP is off the radar.
Thanks.
Peter ???

The file to burn a CDROM ends with iso.gz
Img files are for embended systems.

nanobsd is to go on Compact Flash card. What kind of hardware do you have?

Ok. You have answered my question. I downloaded the wrong file. I'll now download the correct file.
To answer Bruce, I have a HP Pentium with 1G of RAM a disconencted harddisk (as Public IP does not need it), 2 NIC cards and the other normal bits and pieces you find on a motherboard that is 5 years old.
The outcome I want is to have pfsense replace my ZoneCD from PublicIP, which looks like is no longer in existense. My wife has a 40 seat Cafe in which we offer free wifi for our customers with 2 and data caps per day per user.
Wouldn't mind a hand with that but I'll search the form for help, unless you can point me in the right direction.
Peter
