Finally got back to this. My freebsd-update.conf contains: Components src world kernel I just did freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install and the source tree was not updated. Apparently it thinks the source is supposed to stay at 9.0.0 for some reason. If I do an upgrade to 9.1 again, from a 9.1 system, will it upgrade only those components which need upgrading, which in this case should be nothing except src? Will it force an upgrade of the src? It would be handy if there were an option to show what work would be done without actually doing it. Gary
