New installation in virtualBox of ghostBSD 10.1 RELEASE. According to the G-BSD FAQ and the FreeBSD handbook I run '# freebsd-update fetch', and I get a list of over 1000 items to be re-installed or updated. This seems a lot for a new install! Then I run 'freebsd-update install' and immediately see a list of missing files and then the command terminates. So this is not a good thing.
What is the current preferred update method? This is between releases, and looking for e.g. security patches.
Thanks for any help.

Re: update - confused?
I will like to know if it is i386 or amd64.

If you have seen lines similar to: you it is because the source code of FreeBSD is not install and you should be up to date. Anything under /usr/src is not install.
You need to look at if you your ate the latest version. If you are at p25 you are up to date.
Code: Select all
install: ///usr/src/ No such file or directory

So why doesn't freebsd-update tell me this?
