lol
Speaking of embedded rickrolls, there is already one embedded in the kernel ;) You just have to find it...

Me too! This sounds really cool! How much MEM do you think it will take? :D
SirCmpwn:
Hmm, well, first of all, I want to make clear the difference between memory and storage. Users have no access to RAM for storage, which is used as memory, meaning memory for running programs.
Storage is the ROM, which is where the filesystem resides. The kernel will probably stay in one page, and the OS might take up another two.

Oh, okay. I think that's small enough to not make changing between the TIOS and KnightOS very hard. Cool! ;D
SirCmpwn:
Also, the App to install it via TIOS should help quite a bit, as well. It will basically let you send your calculator the app (while still running TIOS), and it will unlock flash, disable interrupts, and install KnightOS on your calculator.
When you do this or send an 8xu file, it will run an installer the first time you boot up. This installer will get your preferences, settings, and determine if you are upgrading from TIOS. If you are, then it will offer to convert your existing variables to be backed up into the KFS. That way, it will save .8xps and .8xks and whatever other data you may have on your calculator into /TIOS/ in the KFS.
