Stumped at install
-
I would like to think I am pretty IT literate seeing as I do it for a living!
But I've tried burning the ISO to CD, and the IMG to USB and both do the same on 3 different PCs, a black screen with the flashing cursor.
What am I doing wrong?
I used imgburn for the CD, and win32, and rufus for the USB. -
The newest long term releases of linux mint can both burn images to thumbdrives, sd cards, disks or whatever else right out of the box…
-
Both the ISO and the usb images are gziped. Did you extract them first? I would have expected imgburn to look for iso files rather then .iso.gz. I know win32diskimager cannot extract the file on the fly unlike physdiskwrite.

Edit: Phrased that badly.

As per Stephen, you need to unzip the gz file , use 7zip to unzip the archive and then write the unzipped image to usb or cd see here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Writing_Disk_Images. I had to do a lot of hula hooping before I managed to install pfsense on my alix box ;D. The documentation on the pfsense site is awesome take some time and go through it, it is really helpful.
Cheers!
