Recommend a stable nightly?

Yotto:
This has always bugged me, and I know this is getting off topic, but if it's not stored in a file (as you say and my experience tells me as well, so I'm not questioning you) and it's not stored in memory (because you can turn the iPod off and the settings remain) then where *are* they stored?  Is there some flash memory or something where you store them?  Is there a hidden partition on the disk?  Does the iPod just repeat it over and over before it shuts off? :D

Llorean:
Well, there *is* the hidden firmware partition. But we don't actually use that. We just use a sector (I can never remember specifically what number) on the disk that's not used for other purposes and isn't part of the file system.

I never knew that. I will try that now. Thanks.

When do you hold the Record button?

Yotto:
On bootup, until it says "cleared" or "settings cleared" or something similar.
