I found the source to freebsd-update (it's a shell script) and found that there was a way to specify "--debug". So, when I ran... mobius# freebsd-update --debug -s update1.freebsd.org fetch Looking up update1.freebsd.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from update1.freebsd.org... fetch: http://update1.freebsd.org/7.1-PRERELEASE/i386/pub.ssl: Not Found failed. That gave me a good lead to follow. Browsing around update1.freebsd.org for a bit leads me to find things under, say, http://update.freebsd.org/7.1-RELEASE/i386/pub.ssl Just not under 7.1-PRERELEASE. I'll update the old fashioned way. NP. I think once I'm off PRERELEASE I'll be able to use freebsd-update.
