I succeeded updating my system to OpenBSD 4.4-current (GENERIC.MP) (yup 
yup!), and after I rebuilt my kernel and reboot I rebuilt my userland.
Ok till here.

Now I have to check http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html and update 
/etc and /dev ... What!

I do not know about most programs this page is telling me about, most of 
them I never installed (e.g. rtadvd) nor it seems the system installed 
it on my behalf, so may I have understand that for this e.g. rtadvd I 
have nothing to do by now.
Any script to tell me better info here?

Can you give me some light about what do I have to do at this stage, or 
what you use to do here?
( http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html )

e.g.: At section 2008/07/24 - changes in libc and libm

What? What is that? It seems main libraries.
Let's go if I have some of these installed:
$ pkg_info | grep libc
libcddb-1.3.0       library to access data on a CDDB server
libcdio-0.80p2      compact disk input and control library
libcroco-0.6.1p0    generic CSS parsing library for GNOME project

??

$ pkg_info | grep libm
libmad-0.15.1bp1    high-quality MPEG audio decoder
libmal-0.44         MAL convenience library
libmatroska-0.8.1   extensible open standard audio/video container library
libmikmod-3.1.10p4  mikmod sound library
libmng-1.0.10       Multiple-image Network Graphics (MNG) reference library
libmpcdec-1.2.6     musepack decoder library
libmpeg2-0.4.1      free MPEG-2 video stream decoder
libmspack-20040308a library for handling microsoft compression formats
libmtp-0.2.6.1p0    Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) implementation
$

Terror, panic is invading me, what do I have to do with all those to 
update it?
Moreover, this "2008/07/24 - changes in libc and libm" says also:

4. Build and install gcc.
What? Which one? Those gcc I installed from packages or the gcc that 
comes with the system and I don't know which one it is as pkg_info 
didn't tell me about?
If your platform uses gcc 2.95.3: blah blah
If your platform uses gcc 3.3.5: blah blah
??

$ pkg_info | grep gcc
gcc-4.2.20070307p7  GNU compiler collection: core C compiler
$

Still, again, terror, panic is invading me to make (or to forget) 
something wrong.

Please, have a pint of caipirinha
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caipirinha ) with me and give some clues!

Note: If I survice from here, (I will do for sure) my next todo steps: 
Install xenocara with radeonhd for my ASUS "ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro" 
videocard (?!) and updating all my installed ports and packages (!?)
.. will need more caipirinhas and help!
