        This has been asked atleast 100 times.

        The image is 64 megs.  That means no matter what size CF card you install it onto, it will still be 64 megs.  Nothing is stored on the CF except the system and config.xml whcih only gets mounted RW when a config change is made.

                        Nope.  Unless you want your compact flash to write itself to death.

                            Yes, on the download page which links to this: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=WhichVersionIsRightForMe

                            Please take a moment and reread the ENTIRE download page.
