Here are a few: 1. Run up2date and apply all relevant patches. 2. If you have an IDE CD-ROM or DVD and DMA is not working, add this line to the /etc/modules.conf file: options ide-cd dma=1 3. Turn off authentication in /etc/ntp.conf or time sync will not work (at least it did not work for me). I know at least one other person that had this problem, but not sure if it is universal. 4. Download and install java, I use Sun 1.4.1 JRE. 5. Download and install the goodies you want from psyche.freshrpms.net.
