Hopefully you noticed this somewhere in the FAQ (At least I think it's in the FAQ). If you want to do a big upload of songs (gigs and gigs on your 60Gb player) you're better off doing it with 1.03 and then upgrading to 2.0b11 after that. 2.0b11 seems a little flaky when loading a lot of stuff.

And definitely put Hijack on. Well worth the (very small) effort.

That get's you most of the way. Then it's things like a telnet daemon, preinit etc if you want them. For most people Hijack provides enough extra features. Depends how far you want to go. And how much you want to "play"
