The FreeBSD Security Team intends to support 6.3-RELEASE until January 31st,
2010.

 Dedication
 ----------

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro Hagino,
known throughout the Internet community as itojun, for his visionary work
on the IPv6 protocol and his many other contributions to the Internet and
BSD communities.

 Availability
 -------------

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is now available for the alpha, amd64, i386, pc98,
and sparc64 architectures.  It can be installed from bootable ISO images
or over the network; the required files can be downloaded via FTP or
BitTorrent as described in the sections below.  While some of the smaller
FTP mirrors may not carry all architectures, they will all generally
contain the more common ones, such as i386 and amd64.

MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the
bottom of this message.

The contents of the ISO images provided as part of the release has changed
for most of the architectures.  Using the i386 architecture as an example,
there are ISO images named "bootonly", "disc1", "disc2", "disc3", and "docs".
The "bootonly" image is suitable for booting a machine to do a network based
installation using FTP or NFS.  The "disc1", "disc2", and "disc3" images are
used to do a full installation that includes a basic set of packages and does
not require network access to an FTP or NFS server during the installation.
In addition, "disc1" supports booting into a "live CD-based filesystem" and
system rescue mode.  The "docs" image has all of the documentation for all
supported languages.  Most people will find that "disc1", "disc2" and "disc3"
are all that are needed.  If you intend to install ports from source
instead of using the pre-built packages included with the release only
"disc1" is needed.

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several
vendors.  One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 6.3-based
products is:

~   FreeBSD Mall, Inc.        http://www.freebsdmall.com/


 BitTorrent
 ----------

6.3-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent.  A collection of torrent
files to download the images is available at:

        http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/

 FTP
 ---

The primary mirror site is:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/

However before trying the primary FTP site, please check your regional
mirror(s) first by going to:

ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The
FreeBSD Handbook.  It provides a complete installation walk-through
for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

 FreeBSD Update
 --------------

Starting with FreeBSD 6.3, the freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary
upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems systems running earlier FreeBSD releases,
release candidates, and betas.  Users upgrading to FreeBSD 6.3 from
older releases (in particular, older than 6.3-RC1) will need to
download an updated version of freebsd-update(8) that supports upgrading
to a new release.

# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz

Downloading and verifying the digital signature for the tarball
(signed by the FreeBSD Security Officer's PGP key) is highly
recommended.

# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc
# gpg --verify freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz

The new freebsd-update(8) can then be extracted and run as follows:

# tar -xf freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade
# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install

The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before
continuing.

# shutdown -r now

Finally, freebsd-update.sh needs to be run one more time to install
the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted one
last time:

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install
# shutdown -r now
