I think you can uninstall all software, boot from cd vith bsd.rd, delete
all system files, kernels, configuration files etc, then unpack install
files( base40.tgz ...), replace kernel, then make dev. then install all
software.witch you need(If you need.).
But mush simpler is to back up your data, and make fresh install !

Yes, as you can see i quoted the faq in my initial post. just
interesting if someone did that without doing a fresh install...
However, Miod & Dunceor, thanks for your replies.
Thanks,

As said in the FAQ:
"One should also understand that the update process is supported in
only one direction: from older to newer, and from -stable to -current.
You can not run 4.0-current (or a snapshot), then decide you are
living too dangerously, and step back to 4.0-stable. You are on your
own if you choose any path other than the supported option of
reloading your system from scratch, do not expect assistance from the
OpenBSD development team."
I guess it could be done but then you are in for one hell of a
headache and not worth it.
Just backup your important files and do a fresh -stable install.

Hi all,
I "understand that the update process is supported in only one
direction: from older to newer, and from -stable to -current", but
anyway, did anybody try to downgrade from -current to -stable? Are
there
any painless steps for that?
Thanks,
