freebsd stable - Oct 2008 - Correct downgrade procedure

Hi all

I've been having increasingly annoying Xorg crashes with 7.1, on a
previously very reliable laptop[1], and am now trying to go back to how
it used to work, starting off by downgrading kernel + world to
7.0-RELEASE, which used to work quite nicely. If that fails to make any
huge strides, I guess I'll have to rollback the ports tree as well.

I was wondering if there was a best-practise way of downgrading? I guess
I will also have to rebuild all/most ports; that's what weekends are
for :)


Cheers

Tom

Did you consider using ``portdowngrade''. It should be included in your
portstree.
