My immediate thought was that if you can't work out how to update your system to FreeBSD-STABLE then you probably shouldn't be doing that. You should read the FreeBSD handbook then decide whether running STABLE is actually what you want to do. Particularly this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html Most FreeBSD users install FreeBSD-RELEASE then use the freebsd-update command to either patch it with security updates or upgrade to a newer version of RELEASE. As far as I know you can't use freebsd-update to upgrade to/from STABLE, only RELEASE. Regards Andrew
