I intend to first upgrade my old, but up to date, 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD
7.2-STABLE #901 to the latest 8.0 release
I want to conserve as much as I can so I thought that I might give
freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RELEASE a try.
freebsd-update does not work on STABLE branches. You can only track a
RELEASE branch and a few Beta/RC releases with it.
I am trying to follow the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/announce.html
From the first paragraph:
"Systems running 7.[012]-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA[1234], or 8.0-RC[123] can
upgrade"
Looks like I was reading what I wanted to read and not what was
written. Sorry. Thanks for the the wakeup call.
Have a great day,

Andreas
