Well, I found the answer myself by comparing freebsd-update on FreeBSD 6.2 and 6.3. The version on 6.3 adds the -r newrelease option, which doesn't exist on 6.2... so it looks like moving up a point release using this tool is first possible with FreeBDD 6.3 -> 6.4. I know 6.2 isn't supported anymore, but it works fine for me. kelly
