Howdy, I installed it to a CF card. I got it almost running on a Soekris 4521. It ran, but crashed because the 4521 does not have enough memory. I currently run pfSense from a CF card on a non-Soekris box with 124 meg of ram. It is a geode design that take 4 meg for video ram, even though there is no video. It works fine. I would have bought a Soekris, but I found someone tossing a bunch of these prior model Checkpoint routers and repurposed one. I downloaded the x86 image, did a dd to the CF card, and booted up. You have to be connected to the serial port of the computer you are booting pfSense on to do the initial configuration and then it is all by web. The charts in pfSense are great, but I am still deciding if I like it better overall than IPCop. My Soekris boxes will soon be fancy wireless access points, if I can get the software built. Good luck, Ralph
