I rooted my Nook Color back in the day via the autonooter method (http://theunlockr.com/2011/02/05/how...nooter-method/).

Now that the new update is apparently being pushed (instead of just being a manual install choice), I and others are concerned about losing root and having to re-setup the Nook Color to our current custom needs.

Apparently going a step further with the autonooter guys and installing a custom ROM will prevent the update from being pushed (http://theunlockr.com/2011/02/06/how...he-nook-color/).

Has anyone tried and can confirm this? I'm going to try tonight, I think, if no one else has. I really just don't feel like the stock B&N capabilities are worth losing root right now.
