We could also call it "run_1st.cfg", "try_me.cfg" or something like that. Or, we could play a little game and call it "warning_dont_touch.cfg" :)

Spug:
Speaking of the "magic Rockbox folder" - is there a good reason why it's not set to "hidden" by default? Is it there so users can reset Rockbox easily?

It is hidden on all *nix-like systems (since it starts with a dot) and on the rest it can't be set hidden since then the hidden bit is a feature of the filesystem and not something we can ship in a zip file.

The current code does not really support default configuration in a file. I think that Rockbox should check for the presence of config.cfg and only if the file is not found it should load default.cfg which could be easily shipped with the firmware.

Llorean:
My thought was that there could be a default.cfg and a current.cfg. If current.cfg does not exist, default is used, but user's settings are stored in current.cfg instead. So, a clean install gets default.cfg, but user settings are never overwritten because current.cfg isn't included.

Then you can easily package target-specific settings, that way.
