[SDBUG] FreeBSD-6-RELENG ????

[Miles Teg]

Sure, and why wouldn't he want that?  That's what I'd do.

Install from the release ISO

Setup basic networking and a default route

Install cvsup without gui

pkg-add -r cvsup-without-gui

Update to RELENG_6

/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

Update to newest ports

/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

Build the newest world and generic kernel and reboot

cd /usr/src && make buildworld && make buildkernel && make installworld && 
make installkernel && reboot

Customize your kernel and rebuild, then go from there
