Hello!

I use FreeBSD/amd64 6.0 as the only OS on my desktop
PC. Having carefully thought over pros and cons, I decided
to downgrade to i386 for the time being.

My plan is to

1. cvsup
2. Deinstall all ports
3. Somehow build/install new world and kernel
4. Reinstall all ports

I know that the i386--amd64 path is still not that smooth
and going backwards is not gonna make it smoother, but
can you please give some helpful tips?

Thanks,
Andrew P.
