If you definitely don't want the system sources, then edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf and change this section in the obvious way: # Components of the base system which should be kept updated.

Cheers, Matthew I use the default kernel, on changes whatsoever. I haven't changed anything. I installed the sources because it was needed for VirtualBox, I think. I didn't install all sources only what was needed. I've not touched /etc/frebsd-update.conf at all.
