I am clearly running 8.2-p5, but the final message says "no updates > needed". That's clearly not correct since p5 < p8. And running uname again > after this results in still seeing p5. That's not really true. Unless an update upgrades the kernel, the result of "uname -a" will not change. For it to change, you have to recompile the kernel yourself - using the generic of a custom configuration. Your current release level is the fourth field in /var/db/freebsd-update/tag, IIRC. -- Gianni Vialetto "To see things in the seed, that is genius." - Lao Tzu
