I see that you live in India. Unfortunately, there are no
good mirrors there that I know about. You can try to
download 6.0-RC1 image from our central ftp server:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RC1-i386-disc1.is=
o

But if the box is directly connected to the Internet
(even via slow/lossy link), you'd better cvsup to
the latest source tree and rebuild world/kernel.
The update from 5.4 to 6.0 is painless.

6.0 has read-only support for ReiserFS partitions,
there's an effort to provide XFS support also, but
it's far from complete yet. For most applications,
UFS2 is as good (fast, reliable, feature-rich) as
it gets.

You can learn how to upgrade your system to
6.0 by reading this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

post to this list in case of trouble, but choose
a new subj line.


Good luck,
Andrew P.
