If it is really a problem with version 6.2, you might have to 
do a fresh install of 6.1 and then cvsup to RELENG_6.1 rather 
than STABLE or CURRENT.

So far as I know, though, 6.2 is very reliable now.  So, maybe
it might help to pursue the actual problems you are having more.
It may be that you would have the same problems in 6.1 or even 5.5.

So, you might want to ask questions about the specific
problems you are having in 6.2.
