If it was not for all the compiling and all, I would just start from scratch. I have a current snapshot and all the distfiles anyway. I just hate to do it. It sounds to much like winders to me.
I usually back up the whole /etc directory. That saved me when my inittab files got blanked somehow. It wouldn't boot without it for some reason. No clue why. LOL That was my humor OK. I'll make a back-up after the current merge gets done and slide them out the door. The ones in config-archive are from using dispatch-conf thing. I generally use etc-update though.
