I have a 6.2 boot only ISO. The installation from FTP works well, but I have some strange issues - (i. e. csup when pulling the 6.3 sources freezes the OS and completes after two restarts, make buildworld crashes, etc.). I normally I move with the RELEASE versions and I have never had such problems the last 2-4 years. Could it be that I am doing something wrong, or simply versions outside of RELEASE are to be treated differently? Thank you, Iv
