Thanks all for your very useful advise, comments and
encouraging me to go for a new world!

I've just built a new world here...for the first time in my life.
Quite scary, but eventually flawless without any problems.
Bless that wonderful FreeBSD handbook!!!

So I learned that I also should rebuild my world, when I go for
the new kernel.
How about my already installed software from the ports' collection?
So far that seems to run fine with the new world and kernel. But can
I expect to run into trouble here at some point?
If so, any idea where and when ?

Thanks,
Rob.
