Hi,

I have a box which i installed 7.0 stable on and i want to do a binary 
update to 8.1 REL, is this possible via the freebsd-update utility?

freebsd-update -r 8.1-RELEASE upgrade
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching public key from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

(Its only on stable that it fails, works fine).

thanks
Paul.
