I just tried it (freebsd-update fetch install) and after a reboot uname 
-a still shows FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0 while freebsd-update told me I was 
going to update to 7.0-RELEASE-p5. But, I noticed that the files that 
needed to be updated were updated.

I'm a little confused...can someone explain this behaviour to me?

Thanks,

Martin
