I'm on my phone, and it is difficult to do from here.  Would a mod/admin please modify this post and paste in my post from the updates thread?
Thanks!
Done

EDIT: also, your update makes me so giddy with anticipation :P

When he says 'Dev version' in 1st of February, that's when I'm happy, I really hope he manages to do it ;D

Thanks Eeems, and the rest of you guys for the support.  I'm doing some charity work where we build free software for nonprofit organizations this weekend, but I'll be working on tiDE in the offtime.  KnightOS will resume work on Monday.

Update
It's been a while, due to some life issues, but this is on track for a developer preview on February 1st.  I got TI-84+ (SE) compatibility working (it previously was not), and started converting the filesystem to KFS.  Due to the complex nature of the KFS (it has been optimized for Flash), I have made an external program that will patch the filesystem into a ROM/8xu file.  I have also extended the KFS specification to include the garbage collection procedure.  Just a bit longer guys, and you'll have a copy to play with.

:D

Does it install from an app yet, or is it a full .8xu?

yay!

Your "nonprofit" thing wouldn't happen to be the Google Code-In event, would it? Although, the task portion ended a little while ago...

I thought I read somewhere that KOS couuld be installed from an app, I mean. I can't download .8xus directly, because I always transfer things through someone else's 84+, so I was wondering if the beta would have an .8xk installer.

So, I take it you have an 83+ but no link cable, just a usb one?

I'm not sure how it would work...The installation time would be horrendous and it would take a lot of tricky coding.
Why can't you download .8xu's may I ask? (I'd be willing to give you some help with getting it to work if you want)

I guess if you didn't have a usb plug, and only had a 2.5mm plug.  You could go to radioshack, and buy a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter, and then plug that into your sound port.  Basically using an app or something as a boot-loader, or just do it TI's way.

The beta installation will be 8xu only, but the final version will have an 8xk installer.  And I expect the whole OS to take up no more than 3 pages, so the installation time won't be too bad.

It's just what willranship said: I have a calc-to-calc cable and a USB cable, but no silverlink.
