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.
