freebsd-update problem (on 6.2)

[Don O'Neil]

Colin,
   Can I use freebsd-update to update from 6.1-STABLE-200608 to the latest
version? When I try to run the program it says its not compatible... Is
there a way to force it to update anyway, and is there any reason I would
NOT want to force it?

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get my machine updated, which
was installed from a snapshot ISO, without having to do a buildworld.

Thanks!
Don

This is correct.  uname(1) reports the kernel version, and the change from
6.2-RELEASE-p2 to 6.2-RELEASE-p3 did not affect the kernel.

This is correct.  The version you have here is not the version which was
distributed with the release -- it's the version in the latest RELENG_6_2.
