When I change the Release Name to "any" I > get the following error message: Grrf. Two parts to this answer: 1. As I understand things, the value you set as the release name in the sysinstall options (e.g. "4.6-RELEASE") must exist as a directory in (for example): ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/ This is because the packages are found as a symlink under this directory. So for example, "4.6-RELEASE" and "4.6.1-RC1" are valid release names here, but "4.6.1-RELEASE-p10" isn't. Neither is "4.6.1", because we (the RE team) never released it. So, the short answer is that if you set the release name to a directory that exists, you *should* be OK. 2. For this specific case, I suggest waiting (if possible) until the 4.6.2 package builds are done and do your package installs using "4.6.2-RELEASE" as the release names. We (RE) asked the package-building team to rebuild packages to make sure they took into account all the security fixes we put into 4.6.2. They're starting about now. I'd like to say we'll have 4.6.2 released in a few days, but my credibility on that point is stretched pretty thin (if I have any left at all!).
