A couple of questions regarding FreeBSD-Update: 1. How do I update from 6.0-RELEASE to 6.1-RELEASE or 6-STABLE using FreeBSD-Update? I've tried downloading the ISO and doing it that way but 'uname' remains unchanged. 2. How does FreeBSD-Update know which branch to follow (STABLE, CURRENT or RELEASE)? 3. I tried upgrading to 6.1 using the ISO method, and am getting this: [root@xxxx root]freebsd-update fetch Fetching updates signature... Fetching hash list signature... Examining local system... The following files are affected by security fixes, but have not been updated because they have been modified locally: /bin/rmail /usr/bin/edit /usr/bin/ee /usr/bin/ree /usr/bin/vacation /usr/lib/libmilter.a /usr/lib/libmilter.so.3 /usr/libexec/mail.local /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail /usr/libexec/smrsh /usr/sbin/editmap /usr/sbin/mailstats /usr/sbin/makemap /usr/sbin/praliases No updates available ...AFAIK I haven't altered these files. How can I force the update? I have a feeling this is related to the above questions ;) Many thanks, Matt Bostock
