I don't know of any official ISO's of 6.2-PRERELEASE. 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.
