BTW: Look at windows. The windows OS can do nothing. If you want to calculate, you use the 'calculator' application, If you want to edit text, you use notepad.
I don't know if this really fits in the feature requests section, but I think the size of the OS itself should be kept to the absolute minimum, and let every feature be an application. This way, you won't waste memory on the features you never use.

This way, you won't waste memory on the features you never use. That's the plan. The entire kernel is <4000 bytes, and fits on one page. The rest of the ROM (save some places for obvious reasons) is where the applications go, and the user files go.

No, but you can use the boot page Page 0 or Page 1F/3F/7F. I'm assuming 0, since the other pages shouldn't be writable, but knowing SirCmpwn...

It was a joke Page00 is restricted from filesystem access, the reason being that it's the kernel and would be bad to mess up. So is the boot page, usb page (84+, read-only), and certificate pages.
Yeah, especially since I spent so much time getting it working on linux
