Hi, brand new to OPNsense and the forum. I have a bit of a noob question.

I am looking at getting a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720 Tiny to run OPNsense. I realise it is overkill for the purpose, but I can get the box at a really good price, so it is hard to resist. Down the track I might look to run other things on it.

The configuration I am looking at (with an added Intel 4 port NIC) does not have a serial or VGA port. Only USB2, USB3, DisplayPort and HDMI. Can I still install OPNsense on it? This thread (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3972.0) suggests it is possible, but I wanted to make sure.

If it is possible, what version of the installer do I use?

Thanks.

Hi,
use the vga image to install opnsense.

best regards
Dirk

VGA will work for VGA, Displayport, DVI and HDMI output. It just means that this version uses the local display.

Thanks both! Great that it is such a simple answer (told you it was a noob question!). Cheers
