The sequence in which I update the various components on systems:
* buildworld
* buildkernel (including kernel mods from ports)
* installkernel (including kernel mods from ports)
* mergemaster -p
* installworld
* mergemaster
* delete-old
* reboot
* delete any unwanted ports that are installed
* update all installed ports
* delete-old-libs
* add any ports not installed, but wanted
* reboot

I do this daily on a couple of machines; only weekly on others.  I
rarely have problems caused by the process.  (Note caveat, there. :-})

Peace,
david

Who would have thought that a "hotelier" would be so ... unwelcoming?  Sad.
