I have simply copied over the freebsd-update script from a 7.0 machine and it seems to work fine just as on the 7.0 machine. I have run a fetch without making any changes to the conf file, I haven't applied the updates as yet as its a production server and I'll need to schedule down time and work out a fall back plan if anything goes bad when doing an install. Thanks again! Andy.
