      I'm trying to figure out what Image I should download but I can't find anywhere a description of the differences between the different images.

      Pfsense-2.0-RC3-1g
      Pfsense-2.0-RC3-2g
      Pfsense-2.0-RC3-3g
      Pfsense-2.0-RC3-4g
      Pfsense-2.0-RC3-512m

      This is where I get stuck.  I know I want the i386 and pfsense-2.0-rc3, but I'm not sure what the 1g,2g etc stands for.  I've got a alix 2d2 with 2Gb cf card.

      Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance,
      Chris

        As far as I know it stands for the size of the card you use.
        If you are using a 2GB card the you could use the 2g,1g and 512mb images.

          Yes, it's card size specifications (though you may find that you need the next size up since some cards are a bit small).

            Awesome, that helps a bunch.  This unit is more for testing purposes I guess so hopefully the two gigs ties me over, I've only got 3 machines on my network, but worse case scenerio I'll grab a 4g.  Thanks again. 8)

              Sometimes cf cards are smaller than those should be so it's safe to take 1g image for 2g card

                Size doesn't matter ;)

                The same underlying features exist in all versions, they're just sized for different cards.
