What img file to download

If you don't see those files, you went to the updates directory, not the directory for new installs.

my first post..
Success! 8) ..with download, install and bootup. Here is what I did:
1. At a pfSense mirror website http://pfsense.phoenixkv.net/downloads/ I selected the image file:
pfSense-memstick-2.0-RELEASE-i386.img.gz and downloaded that image file to the HDD on my F-13 workstation..3. unzip the image file on the HDD using cmdline: gunzip pfSense-memstick-2.0-RELEASE-i386.img.gz
4. plug in a Transcend 4GB USB memstick (/dev/sde). Copy the image from the HDD to
the USB memstick using cmdline: dd if=./pfSense-memstick-2.0-RELEASE-i386.img of=/dev/sde bs=1k5. Move the USB memstick over to a Gateway netbook and set its BIOS to use USB as the boot device.
I booted without setting any delay params. It booted up after asking a few questions, and displayed
an options choice menu.OK, so it will boot and run from a USB disk. GREAT! Further testing can now be performed using
a proper desktop with two wired network adapters. I am sure that I'll be back soon to learn more
when I have the necessary hardware.thanks for the good information in this Forum.

Looks great now! The only thing I would add is a short description for Serial and VGA consoles.
-
I made a page on the doc wiki explaining the difference between the consoles, and then linked it from the table/text on the versions page.

Perfect! I think this will help a lot of people wanting to try pfsense without doing a lot of searching. It sure helps me. Thank you. ;D

Question about the memstick images
Do they have VGA enabled ? -
Memstick images are USB versions of the Live CD, they have VGA only.
(Though I do have a serial memstick image I made by hand, I haven't had any feedback on whether it works or not)

Ok thanks
another question
on the memstick images, where are the config get stored ?
If i reboot a memstick image everything is back to default
the nanobsd won't boot from USB on my Bock (HP N36L) -
The memstick image is the same as the livecd – it's an installer and test platform, it's not meant to be run indefinitely. It does not store the config on the drive.
