Couldn't wait for the OTA 2.0.1 update...

I followed the instructions from two sites to update my Droid to 2.0.1 -
http://android-devs.org
http://www.intomobile.com
I discovered two things. The links to the update .zip file are not the same, which if you are paranoid (i.e. remotely security conscious) raises concerns of possibly compromised packages. The two md5sums matched (not that that really means anything) and were reported as

Also, when you have to press Volume Up and Camera at the same time, don't freak out about doing it wrong, you can just keep trying until you get it right. You don't need to hold them down, either. Once you get it right, you will see the recovery menu.

Haven't had much of a chance to play with 2.0.1 yet. At first blush, the unlock screen has changed and the built-in Power Control and Music widgets all have a darker more Droid-like theme.
