You should start reading the hacks section for iPhone. Even though it's not the same device, a lot of relevant information can be gleaned. Of course, you should read this forum and learn to do searches on macrumors.
People are less likely to help when you ask lazy questions--like the ones you're asking. If you ask questions that show you've done your research, you're more likely to get help.
FYI, the new iOS is 4.2.1; 4.2 was the beta. It may be nitpicky, but you'll find jb requires attention on your part--especially if you screw up.
1. You lose any jb you had before; this also applies if you reset all settings.
2a. Check if your jb programs are 4.2.1 compatible.
2b. JB the iPad and reinstall the compatible programs. There are backup programs available for Cydia programs, like pkgbackup. I don't use it so I don't know how much it costs.
