Some things to watch out for.  FC's rc.sysinit didn't seem to catch some 
necessary stuff for my ibook.  pmud failed to work due to some /dev 
entries missing, so I re-installed YDL's dev package.  Some 
/etc/sysconfig files where missing, that dealt with right/middle click 
emulation and touchpad preferences.  The pbuttonsd and mouse-emulation 
services had to be re-enabled.  The pbuttonsd was a really fun one 
since your keyboard mappings will be way off until you fix it.  I had 
to ssh into my laptop from another system to adjust it.  Not sure if 
pbuttonsd required the new dev package or the new rc.sysinit, but for 
some reason after a full upgrade it wasn't starting.  I had fixed other 
items before fixing this one.

Thats about all I can remember that tripped me up.  IF anybody wants to 
collect this information, and any other provided info into a how-to or 
FAQ or whathave you, that would be really cool.  I know the YDL folks 
are interested in this as well.
