Unhappy [Q] For those who is familiar with CM 6 , PLS PLS PLS HELP !

Guys , i believe most of you have flash your xt720 to CM 6 , and i'm planning to do so , but this is the very first time i'm flashing a new rom , there is many things that i don't understand , do someone mind to help me out ?

1) i learned that after flashing CM 6 , all SYSTEM APPS will gone ? I know this include google apps and what i have to do is just to flash google pack . But what about some important apps such as usb.apk or packageinstaller.apk ? And what about livewallpaper picker.apk ? All those included in the google pack ?
2) At the xda thread , it was written that camcorder cannot works well , so does this mean camcorder cannot function at all ?
3) What is the cpu frequency (clock speed) for this rom ?
4) Developer mentioned that we need to create sd-ext / link2sd directory so that we can use link2sd . Previously on the original rom i've create sdext2 and store most apps in it , if i switch to CM 6 , is there something else i need to do/create ? Or i can use directly ? I don't really understand what he means by create sd-ext/link2sd directory
5) I've changed the font before , after i flashed , what will happen to the font i apply ? And can i still view chinese / korean / japan words on my phone ?

PLS don't post me a link to the CM 6 thread because i have went and even posted my Q but so far no reply

ANY HELPS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED ! GUYS , IF YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND ACTUALLY WHAT I'M ASKING , PLEASE HELPS ... THANKS !

1. System apps will be included in the ROM. What is missing is gmail, gtalk etc that you have to flash gapps package to get it back. Those apps that you downloaded from market will be lost only. Just download them back.

2. Not functional well = may be not working. But once you get a functional Rom with camera, it will continue to work. The software just broken and not hardware.

3. Should be original clock as your phone unless you overclock it

4. You don't have to Recreate. You just have to flash the file and write the command and it will work. What ext can do is you can store your apk's cache or data completely in SD so that you can install more apps.

5. Every android phone can view every font. You just have to install Chinese keyboard to type Chinese word.

Take a2sd script. Flash it. Go to terminal emulator, type

Su
A2sd cachesd <<<<<<<< it will move cache to SD
A2sd data2SD <<<<<<<< move data to SD. Not recommended as it will take a long time to boot.

I'm not sure. You should ask your kernel developers.
