Updating to FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE! INSTALL6 has just released an update to include FreeBSD 6.2 to run after our testers finished their evaluation. The script has been updated to allow the latest 6.2 RELEASE to include all current patches and security updates from FreeBSD developers. INSTALL6 will update your system from 5.5 later to the latest 6.2 RELEASE!
FBSD-DEV had released INSTALL6 version 1.1 Stable. There are several new features that have been added to 1.1 * Processor checks: Checks to see if more than one processor is available on the machine, then adds and compiles SMP support into the kernel. * System platform / architecture checks: Because of the limited resources of our project we are unable to fully test on different platforms / architecture; this allows us to let users know which architecture they are running and if it has been added to our support list. * Supported FreeBSD Versions: There were problems trying to account for the different version of FreeBSD during the port install process. We added in package support to download ports only for the version of FreeBSD installed, to prevent potential incompatibility issues. * Network Interface Cards (NICs): Added in code to auto detect possible NICs. This also helps to prevent possible miss configuration of firewall rules and internal and external names. * The unattended configuration file had been updated with new variables and clearer descriptions of what each option does.
