      I came across this when I was reading the versions page. Is there a list somewhere of features that don't work with the LiveCD/USB versions? I ask because I may run pfSense from a USB as part of an embedded system. Thanks.

        Basically any package that requires a Harddisk (squid comes to mind).

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Packages can't be used at all. Other than that everything else should be equivalent.

          But if you're running from USB, use USB flash w/nanobsd version on it, and not a CD drive. Then GruensFroeschli's response applies and not mine.
