Hi meloadik,

I'd recommend you see if package tools could help you out, start here:

http://man.openbsd.org/pkg_check
http://man.openbsd.org/?apropos=1&query=package
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/pkglocatedb/
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html
http://man.openbsd.org/packages

And see if you can infer a list of the packages you had to re-install.
This includes your system emails for daily changes (in /var/mail etc).
Another idea is to match against a clean system everything else saved.

Kind regards
Anton Lazarov
