# 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.
