Please provide more details, including (but not limited to): Did you boot from an install CD (or other media) or did you run sysinstall directly from the running system? What media did you select from sysinstall? (FTP, CDROM, etc) Did you go in to the sysinstall options screen and change the version string (or notice what it was)? If you did use a CD, where did it come from and what version is it? (followup: are you sure?)

After that, and a reboot, I'm 6.2. Note: I used a 6.2 CD to do it.

(followup: are you sure?) # I upgraded from the running system, I used passive ftp , I selected # minimal install, and just chose a an ftp server to download from In that case sysinstall got its version string from the running system (5.5), so that's what it downloaded and installed. Try it again, but this time go to the Options menu (from the main Sysinstall menu) and change the release name to what you really want. I would suggest 6.2-RELEASE unless you have a reason for wanting 6.0.
