      I've been running *a nix for 30 years; familiar with progress I am, understand the Netgate reasoning I do, but caught in a bind I be. 2.4.4p3 is still supported

      I say I'm sorry... ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I didn't read it carefully enough, that you use the previous version as a "springboard" for installation, 2.4.5-p1

      Although this is not the best either, as a clean installation has the benefits of considering disk fragmentation. (then it does not yet exist :))
      (pkg... installation, - reinstallation and deletion processes, TaTatatata)

      I understand your attitude to the old HW, but itโ€™s time to look for new donator :-)

      I read the other posts about old and new OS, IT, network developments, storage solutions... (and other)

      • well, yes the IT world is moving forward.... floppy, CD, DVD, double layer, blue ray, pen drive, etc..

      I started with this (C64 I. and later II. - BASIC and later Simons' BASIC), so what you wrote is not far from me...

      (the best part is that it still works(!) and I load the Last Ninja game from a 5.25" floppy (one sided floppy(!)) disc, hihihihi)

      For someone who doesn't know Last Ninja:

        Wow - brings back memories. I never played that one.. My favs were reach for the stars

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reach_for_the_Stars_(video_game)
        and
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game)

        I had found my 1541 drive in a box in the garage a couple years back.. Finally threw it out..I had scrapped the c64 that was on a shelf in closet a few years before..

        Should of prob kept them - would of been a fun project maybe to get it working.. But finally had to start clearing stuff out.. Like when am I ever going to use this ISA 10mbit network card, or this old video card, etc. etc.

            My very first computer was a C64. Family got it when I was in 8th grade. Would put my favorite 5.25 inch floppy in the drive (no that's not what she said...), type run pitfall.exe, hit enter, and enjoy some adventure and doom...

                  If you enjoy this kind of not-on-topic vintage computer conversation, you'd probably like the Vintage Computer Forums at www.vcfed.org/forum where vintage nostalgia is completely on-topic.

                  In any case, I got the answer (and attention to the issue) I was after, and hopefully the non-profit client will be able to get some newer kit donated. At least I'm not trying to port pfSense to the old 68020-based Proteon 8200 routers we have in the basement.....

                  Thanks all!

                    My first was a trs-80, had a sinclar 1000 as well. Use to walk to the library to use a PET ;)

                    Back in the days of where you use to connect the phone handset into the modem... And you could type faster than the modem could handle..

                      Yeah, my first *nix was Tandy Xenix on a TRS-80 Model 16 (68000 processor); it was actual real Unix as ported by Microsoft and Tandy.

                      I didn't read it carefully enough, that you use the previous version as a "springboard" for installation, 2.4.5-p1

                      Right; I had no intention of staying on the old version, just boot to it and update. I had to do the same thing with CentOS 8 on a much newer server that still didn't like the USB stick for some reason; 8.2 fits on a DVD-DL but 8.3 doesn't. So I'll boot 8.2 and install, and then immediately upgrade to 8.3.

                          hey, well try this today,....through these FTTH, DOCSIS, IPoE, etc

                          but we must be able to type faster, we have been learning for a long time...

                              these stuff (C64 / I. and II.) survived, because they "live" in my parents house... :)
                              they have lived in one place for more than 65 years

                                    The new 2.5.1 ISO will in fact FIT on a CD again. Thanks guys!

                                          Are there any computers that can't boot from USB, but can still run a current version of pfsense? I thought it has been 64 bit only for a while and any 64b computer should be able to boot from USB.

                                          PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
                                          i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.

                                            My first was a trs-80, had a sinclar 1000 as well. Use to walk to the library to use a PET ;)

                                            My first computer was an IMSAI 8080, which predated the Sinclair, Trash 80, Apple II, PET, etc.. I got mine in Nov. 1976. I still have a USR Courier dual standard modem. My first modem was a 300 baud manual, which my wife insisted I get after I showed her the Adventure game on a VAX 11/780 at work. She asked if she could play it on my IMSAI. I said no, but if we had a modem...
