I seem to have hit quite a few problems with my installation of FreeBSD - although it has proved to be quite a learning experience, so I'm thinking of doing a reinstall and jumping to FreeBSD 11.
What I'd like some advice on is how do I make a list of PKGs which have been installed and is it possible to do a batch
I'd like to backup any configuration file that I may have amended.... presumably I need a copy of everything in /usr/local/etc as well as /etc/rc.conf and maybe /etc/fstab... not sure what else I may have changed. I guess it might be prudent to copy /usr/local just in case along with /usr/home and /root.
What else should I consider backing up? It's just a home environment - nothing mission critical
but I'd like to keep hold of any configuration files it has taken weeks to sort out.

pkg install from a list of those which have already been installed ie something pkg install <pkglist.I'd like to backup any configuration file that I may have amended.... presumably I need a copy of everything in /usr/local/etc as well as /etc/rc.conf and maybe /etc/fstab... not sure what else I may have changed.
