Embedded vs normal Kernel?
-
What are the biggest differences between the embedded kernel and full kernel on a NORMAL installation, not using the nanobsd image? Is it still possible to switch between them? It's been awhile since I tried.
What I would like to do is use a normal install so I have all packages available to me, but use the embedded kernel for it's normal runtime.
What I would like to accomplish is to limit the writes of the logs to memory instead of disk. I don't care about losing logs on a reboot. Is this the way to go about that??

That is controlled by the scripts, that are written for the nano version, not the kernel.

No, you need to use the nano version.

What controls whether a given package works with a particular pfSense installation? The fact it's running on the regular or Nano version?
-
The distinction is whether or not the package would run appropriately on a CF card, with limited resources. There are a number of packages which are simply not appropriate for the limited environment of an embedded board.

Thank you. One more question then.
What is the intended purpose of the embedded kernel on a Full install?
-
There are people who want to run a full install on an embedded system. Typically these are people who've put microdrives into embedded systems instead of using flash.
