Install FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE 2. pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/security/freebsd-update-1.3.tgz 3. mv /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf 4. /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update fetch 5. /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update install (Ok, dumb question: Why is my pkg_message not part of the package on ftp.freebsd.org? It works when I `make package` locally.) Colin Percival
