typical clutch break-in procedure

I recently installed an SLP clutch, pressure plate and a new rear main. It doesnt leak a drop..woohoo! Anyways, I was wondering what you guys usually do to break in a new clutch? I have about 125 miles on it of relatively easy driving (some stop and go, which pissed me off), and i noticed the clutch pedal was a little spongy, and made a little squeaking noise. I was talking to a few guys and they told me that it was time crack her wide open (while the clutch was engaged, they said i shouldnt pop the clutch for a few hundred miles), and that seemed to make the sponginess stop, but the slight squeak is still there. I'm sure you know what squeak i am talking about, and i can kind of feel it in the pedal. Should i worry about it, or just keep driving. By the way, it engages smoothly with no chatter, so i really have no complaints.

thanks,
trav
