Yes, I mentioned that a couple of times before.  However, in the options 
screen, I requested the *6.1-RELEASE* to be fetched, and it did do 
that--except for the kernel, or actually it seems it fetched that too 
but it was unable to move it into place.

I'm fairly knew at FreeBSD (but definitely not at software) and I don't 
see why I shouldn't be able to upgrade an OS starting from the earlier 
release, i.e., without having to bootstrap from the new release, 
particularly when upgrading within the same major release, from one 
minor to the next.
