If you have 6.5.anything, install it, then join SGI's "Supportfolio" program
and download the 6.5.22 update from the website.

6.5.22 was the last version for many machines, so I expect it has a decent
chance of having patches for any serious problems discovered in the future,
even if it is outside the normal range of highly-supported releases.
