DANGER! DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! PRODUCTION MACHINE!

But does anybody have any hints?

I generally do a make buildworld && make installworld every month. I then
go through all the system directories deleting old files and
make installworld again just in case. I recently rm -rf /usr/X11R6/* ,
rebuilt XFree86-4, and reinstalled the X11 ports.

Thanks though,
