Hi René, Im sure you have seen http://m0n0.ch/wall/installation_generic.php by now too. You indeed need to have a operating system (linux/bsd/windows) running on a machine where you put in the HD to program. Besides putting the HD in a working bsd/linux/windows PC there are other options you might want to try to make it more easy. Download a knoppix bootable linux CD on the machine where you want to install it, put the image on a usb stick. In knoppix mount the stick to be able to access the image and load it onto the HD. This needs only a little linux experience (just enough to mount the usb stick) and a CD drive in the machine to install or use an cheap USB HD casing to connect the new HD to your normal (windows) PC and just leave the cover open. Easy solution, but you need a running PC and a few euro usb HD case. But the usb case saves you the trouble from opening your normal PC to build in the new HD just to program it. or Use a PXE server on a normal pc (like the little tftdp windows tool) to boot from the network into a linux image (RIP linux for instance). You also need PXELinux for this A bit hard to install at first, but if you program a lot of HD images its worth the effort. (and you can scare your friends by booting linux on their windows PCs using you laptop and network ;) RIP Linux : http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ PXELinux : http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php TFTPD : http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ Tutorial : http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/system/recovery/RIP-15.0.pxe.readme Good luck, Jurgen From: René Gallardo [mailto:rgallardo at desarrollosweb dot com] Sent: dinsdag 19 september 2006 21:47 To: 'Jurgen van Vliet' Subject: RE: [m0n0wall] About HDD m0n0 version Jurgen Thanks for your answer, but I had read that document more than 3 times before, but it says: 2.1.2. Hard drive Setup You can install m0n0wall to any hard drive of sufficient size (>=8 MB, so basically any IDE hard drive ever made). Of preference to many m0n0wall PC users for maximum reliability is a Compact Flash to IDE adapter, and a CF card. 2.2. Getting and Installing the Software To download the PC image or CD, point your web browser to <http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/downloads.php> http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/downloads.php and select the WRAP download link from that page. Download the file to the machine from which you will be writing to the CompactFlash card. 2.2.1. Preparing the CompactFlash So... I cannot find the specific way to copy it to a HDD, should I suppose there is the same procedure? That means I must have an OS in a computer, attach the target HDD and copy the image? This procedure delete the information in the holding "physdiskwrite" file HDD?

I guess that version is the one that I should install if I want to have the version runnning into a HD instead of CD-ROM and floppy, right? Could anyone help me?
