What I ordered last night was the "6e1". The pcengines.com site pointed me to a netgate website here in the States. So: the entire kit is enroute; or will be soon. What I don't understand is the CF card and howto install pfSense. I'll re-read wherever I have to but some clues would certainly help. I installed pfSense by CDROM initially and figure this time the install would be done by thumb-drive.
