Newbie questions

Hello
First I was directed to post the here because I posted to the stable mailing list before re-reading what it's purpose is- I apologise-.


I am playing with freebsd 6 on a testing box. I Upgraded l from 6.0 to 6.1 because it looked like popular opinion is that it's got a number of improvements After a few false starts and finally figuring what I did wrong it went basicly ok.

I went to use sysinstall to install a few usefull looking items however I got a error message:
"Release 6.1-p3 not found on server"

What is puzling is if I do essentially the samething: run pkg_add -f from the command line I seem to get some of the packages I wanted-to install. Is this normal? or did I do something wrong?
I am not entirely sure how fix this and any assistance is apreciated.

(The free-bsd etiquite note statements says I should mention what I have done so far)

I have started by using google to see if anyone else has this problem. I haven't found the problem on bulitin boards or the like (not yet anyway-i'll look again in the morning)


-thanks
