There are instructions on how to remount the flash drive into RW mode in
the FAQ.
http://faq.pfsense.org/index.php?action=artikel&cat=11&id=171&artlang=en
There's the rope, I hope it is enough. pfflowd shouldn't be writing
when in use, so this should be safe to use. Remount to RW mode, install
pfflowd, then remount to RO mode and run. But I'm no expert.
I think the searching in the FAQ might be broken, it wasn't working for
me. Can anyone confirm.

Thanks Holger.
How can I get pfflowd on my WRAP then?
Re-flash then manually put the package on?

Embedded builds don't support packages (and we hide this option
therefor from the menu and you shouldn't use it). The filesystem
is mounted readonly to not let your cfcard wear out due to limited
write cycle lifetime for embedded builds. This is normal and by
design.

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Installing pfflowd
Hi all,
Have just started using pfSense and its great :)
Running 1.01 on a WRAP 1.
Seems that because I'm using compact flash the filesystem is
mounted read only. Not sure if this is the default or how it came
(I purchased the WRAP from a company in Aus with CF card and image
pre-installed), but it seems to be stopping me from installing any
packages (see below).
Is there any way to remount the filesystem RW or do I need to grab
a new image?
Thanks,
Karl
