Hello freebsd-questions, I have a netbook running as a small server, running freebsd 10.0-RELEASE-p5. I've not used frebsd-update before, but thought I would try as it's running RELEASE, and it would otherwise take ages to upgrade as it's only an atom n450 with 4GB ram. It runs i386 rather than amd64. I do this: root@samsung:/usr/ports # date Wed Jun 25 02:55:23 BST 2014 root@samsung:/usr/ports # uname -a FreeBSD samsung 10.0-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p5 #0 r267600: Wed Jun 18 21:16:17 BST 2014 root@samsung:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 root@samsung:/usr/ports # cd root@samsung:~ # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.

What gives? -- John
