I think I'm getting confused. OK Howard I agree with you......

If I change the configuration in the normal way (example Network >
Internet > Enable TCP/IP) settings will be remembered on re-boot/power
cycling. The save CMOS option in the Boot configuration does nothing as
far as I can tell. Likewise !BB_CMOS has been completely removed.

Currently my Beagleboard has been updated with ROM 5.17 (22-Dec-11) and
the !Boot program 5.17 (the one downloaded in October 2011).

The ROM version can be determined simply by clicking Menu-button over
the Task manager icon and selecting Info but how do I determine the date
of the Boot program? the downloads section on the ROOL site quotes a
date but is there anyway of checking this once the update has been done?

I've tried using the latest Boot program, vers. 5.17 (22-Dec-11) but
there are odd things happening with it like configuration changes
can't be saved, no highlight on some filer windows and un-commanded
RAM disc appears on iconbar containing various directories. Like Fred
I'm sticking with the October 2011 Boot program - it seems to work
correctly.
