If you have a means of backing up your data one way would be: -Backup your data and all configuration files (i.e. PPP setups...) -Remember to backup all the user's directories. -Make a list of all your packages/ports -Install 2.2X fresh. -Install the ports -Restore your data, configs and user directories. This may be one of the safest ways, because (as I see it ) you can not use most ports which you build in your 3.X box. You could also try to build world from 2.X sources, but I doubt many people have tried this on a 3.X system. The single most important thing to remember is to bakup your data. Preferably EVERYTHING even what you think you will not need. This way if something get's really screwed up you could re-install 3.X.
