As freebsd-update depends on the existence of a system matching a release, it cannot be used when upgrading from any system that is not a RELEASE, so you will need to update your sources and follow the "standard" update procedure in /usr/src/UPDATING. You can update sources with svn, CVS or csup. The latter is probably the best choice if you don't update very often. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
