Normally freebsd-update will install minor updates to the installed system. You can use "freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE upgrade" to upgrade to new release versions. Chapter 23.2 of the FreeBSD Handbook offers more detail. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html A good way to identify your running system - uname -a As for getting your source - stable/9 contains updates and features being tested for next release releng/9.1 contains updates that get sent through freebsd-update. release/9.1.0 is a frozen copy at time of 9.1.0 release
