I just installed it o= n a=20 couple of my machines, but I'm tracking the RELENG_6 branch of the sources= =20 and building it myself. Right now 6.2-PRERELEASE is the 6-STABLE sources. S= o=20 unless you can find someone who took a recent snapshot and built a release,= =20 you're going to have to build it yourself. The last snapshot on the FreeBSD= =20 =46TP server is 6.2-BETA3. Personally, I only use the ISO's for an initial= =20 install and update / build from there. The handbook is very detailed about= =20 the process.
