# freebsd-update -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update.sh: Can't open freebsd-update.sh: No such file or directory

I then did a search for the sh file ....

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade
File does not exist or is not readable: freebsd-update.conf

freebsd-update is part of base system so there was no need to install it via 
the port etc .. or is there ?
