iPod Touch updated

Went on a bit of rant there, oh well, I was very irritated with all the time I had spent on trying to get the update to install.
Finally found a document which solved my problems. Turns out I just had to put the iPod into recovery mode and and let itunes do its stuff. Once I hit the restore button while in recovery mode a box popped up telling me all the great things about the 2.1 update and would I agree to have to this installed. I said yes, of course, already paid for the bloody thing, paid a lot more when my time is counted in.
It is now all restored and synced up, this is better. Only problem now is that somewhere along the way all the settings were lost so now I have to reenter my wireless key and mail passwords, sigh. At least it worked and I have an idea of what to to do next time if this happens again.
