Hey, ya'll! I'm trying to help a guy with a dial-up connection upgrade/update to 6.X, or even 5.X. He's on 4.2 and we can't seem to get cvsup to install, nor can he get the whole "ball-o-wax" download from /usr/ports/etc/etc/ports/ports.tgz So I'm thinking he should use sysinstall to do an upgrade. I figure he should go to "options" and set the "Release Name," and then just do an install. But I don't know what is the current "Release Name" for stable. I tried "6.1-RELEASE" on my system, but that failed. Could one of ya'll who has recently (like in the last several days, or weeks) downloaded and installed FreeBSD tell me what your "options" menu says in "Release Name" from sysinstall? Thanks. lane
