Hi Manolis,

   thanks for the reply! I have simply copied over the freebsd-update  
script from a 7.0 machine and it seems to work fine just as on the 7.0  
machine. I have run a fetch without making any changes to the conf  
file, I haven't applied the updates as yet as its a production server  
and I'll need to schedule down time and work out a fall back plan if  
anything goes bad when doing an install.
Thanks again!

Andy.
