Just one, but an important one: when installing a distribution kernel, you never want to do
rpm -Uvh /path/to/kernel-source-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm but rather rpm -ivh ... Because -U (upgrade) will *REMOVE* the old kernel's entry from the bootloader's configuration. If the new kernel is buggy, you're toast[0]. Always leave the old kernel as a backup. Sorry I couldn't make it to the talk... [0] unless you use grub's ability to edit the configuration file at boot time, and you have old vmlinuzs sitting around, but that is not exactly pleasant.
