What I wanted is not just the config, but everything. Say I have installed packages as well and I do not want to go through that again on the next pfSense box I am building. I only want to change a few configs like LAN/WAN IP/Subnets and the names. I am thinking of a situation where I am to deploy a number of boxes which only differ in those aspects but have same functions.
