The installer changed to lua, so yes, it is a completely new system. Some messages need some cosmetic fixing but it installs pfSense. For the first question on partitioning just enter a "*" and it will assign the complete space of the media to be used. Then hit several times ok, go on, ... until you come to the subpartitioning. By default it suggests a "/" partition with "*" and a "swap" with some size. unless your media is actually smaller than the swap (which might happen if you are running from a CF) you can keep this settings. If running from CF or another small media you can remove the swap-partition completely and just run "/" with "*". Go ahead. Firmwareupdate is optional.

Thanks for the input .... but one more ?

When I kick off the installer from the console menu in the way you specify ... it looks like it is installing FreeBSD/DragonflyBSD and not pfSense, and also another point is that there is no provisioning for making a swap partition/slice as there had been in previous installs.

Was the installer re-wrote? Do I have to setup a swap slice or is it done automatically now?

Thanks !

I would suggest doing it the following way:
1. Boot the LiveCD
2. Assign Interfaces at bootup (you'll be asked)
3. Config your settings for basic connectivity from the WebGui and make your WAN work (the settings will be used for the installation and you'll be able to run the online-update at the end of the installationprocess)
4. Enter "installer" from the shellmenu (at the menuitemprompt, not going to shell) including the online-update if you wish to do so

Everyone,

On the newest version of the ISO (0.79.2) it produces the same error as I've been getting on previous ISOs ... (Waiting for Backend). But in doing as the pfSense website indicates "Run 'installer' from the menu" I get a new setup/install.

My ? is: are we to run installer from the menu or are we to go into the shell and run the {/FreeSBIE/scripts/installer.sh} script? I'm a little confused, but it looks like the "installer" from the menu is for installi ng F-BSD/DF-BSD, and the {FreeSBIE/scripts/installer.sh} script is for installing pfSense ...... is this right?

Just looking for some clarification on the PROPER procedure for installing pfSense to the HDD.

Thanks all !!!
