Hi, I had asked this question a few days earlier in another thread. Didn't get any replies, so asking it again in a post of its own. My FreeBSD 6.2 system is currently on 6.2-RELEASE-p4. I use freebsd-update to keep my system up-to-date and I've noticed that offlate there doesn't seem to be any updates to my system. Here's the update of a ''freebsd-update fetch'' on my system for instance: $ freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature from update1.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p7. $ uname -a FreeBSD asterix 6.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Thu Apr 26 17:40:53 UTC 2007 root@i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Is that normal? I mean, there obviously seems to be a 6.2-RELEASE-p7 but then why isn't my system getting updated to that? Is it coz I am not using the parts that are affected by the patches to 6.2-RELEASE-p7? Or have I misconfigured something? TIA, Rakhesh
