Noob trying out OPNsense live, config.xml new install

[Yewtink]

This is my first time using this software and I am wanting to check it and make sure my hardware can handle it before I make a permanent install.  I have been reading the https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html  and I get to step 3 and feel like I am missing something.

For New installations/migrations follow this process:

1) We must have a 2nd USB drive formatted with FAT or FAT32 File system.
  Preferable non-bootable USB drive.

2) Create a conf directory on the root of the USB drive

3) Place an unencrypted <downloaded backup>.xml into /conf and rename the file to config.xml (/conf/config.xml)

  Asked to put the config.xml file on a 2nd USB drive.  Is there a generic xml file I am to find and download and put on that drive?
So for the time being I just created a blank file and just saved as /config/config.xml.

Should there be a starter config where I can edit basic settings before running or will the blank file do what I need to get started.

Thanks

This is only necessary if you are migrating an existing installation. Don't use a second USB key, the system will be installed with reasonable defaults.
