Title: VGA download of 20.1 not iso format
Post by: unixpgmr on February 12, 2020, 11:52:49 pm

I am trying to download the VGA version of OPNSense 20.1 and it is NOT in ISO format, it is in IMG format. Where is the ISO format?

Img is the nano image as far as I know.

Try downloading the VGA 64 bit version from any of the USA mirrors. It comes down as an IMG format. To complicate matters, I have tried ImgBurn and Windows. Both say that the image is corrupted or not a valid IMG format

It's easier to just create a bootable USB image using Rufus and boot from that or download the dvd ISO file.

Please please please just use the provided ISO...

Code: [Select]

Available image types
=====================

o dvd: ISO installer image with live system capabilities running in
  VGA mode.  On amd64, UEFI boot is supported as well.
o vga: USB installer image with live system capabilities running in
  VGA mode as GPT boot.  On amd64, UEFI boot is supported as well.
o serial: USB installer image with live system capabilities running in
  serial console (115200) mode as MBR boot.
o nano: a preinstalled serial image for USB sticks, SD or CF cards
  as MBR boot.  These images are 3G in size and automatically adapt to
  the installed media size after first boot.  Configuration defaults
  have been adapted for embedded use.

Cheers,
