Evening folks... have just built up a new 7.0-RELEASE box, and have gone =
to update it to 7.0-RELEASEp11, however, whenever I run freebsd-update =
fetch I get the following:

bigsis2# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update1.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 7.0-RELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... =
done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 2 metadata files... failed.

Have tried using update., update1., and update2., but no joy on any of =
them.

Any ideas? The box talks fine to the net, everything else on it is =
hunkydorey, so I'm assuming the error isn't at my end... and before =
anyone asks, I'm stuck with 7.0-RELEASE thanks to cPanel not supporting =
anything more current than that at the moment (boo hiss).

My other option is to grab the contents of /var/db/freebsd-update/ off =
my other server, copy over to this new box, and run 'freebsd-update =
install' and see if it then realises that it has the files and gets on =
with it...=20

Any better suggestions?
