Be careful if you not using standard shell because....if you using a shell come from ports.... > 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) > d.

I've do this sometime ago because I don't have 7.0-Beta CD-rom, and I've install a 6.2 and make what you say...but for me rebuild all ports it's same thing to make a new-installation.
