More free space on your Nspire with TNOC
« on: August 10, 2010, 09:41:33 pm »
TNOC is a tool which lets you remove the boot2 and samples from a TNO/TNC file.

So you can:
* prevent your 1.1 boot2 from being updated to 1.4
* update your TI-Nspire faster (the 9Mb 2.1 OS takes so much time...)
* have more free space on your Nspire (3.5Mb with 2.X OSes, 3Mb on 1.7 OSes...)

Screen capture:


How much space can be gained with each OS ?


Before: original 2.1 OS installed just after formatting


After: our special 2.1 OS installed



All informations are available in the TI-Bank news (in french) -> http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=850

We're looking forward to your comments ^^

Quick question--I already have boot 2 1.4.  What is the difference?

Also, this a very nice tool to see!  Great job!

This is pretty cool. I'm really surprised that some of this unnecessary stuff takes up so much space.

Nice! I might reinstall my OS to take advantage of this.

We don't know exactly. A better protection was an hypothesis.


The TNO/TNC update file is stored in the TI-Nspire filesystem ( /phoenix/install ).
It's that file that is being sent when updating another calculator.

As you allready have boot2 1.4, the 1.4 boot2 copy which is compressed in the TNO/TNC file is totally useless. You're wasting 1Mb... just remove it with TNOC! ;)

Thanks critor!

I've edited the 1st post with a direct link to the tool.

You don't have to browse through the french news any more to get the link.

Don't forget that I worked hard to make this tool compatible with Linux and Windows in English and French :p
Hope you'll enjoy it =)

I think this deserves to be moved to news. Great tool you got there! It's pathetic how much the Nspire OSes wasted space on our calcs.

miotatsu:
* now that you have boot2 1.4, you can kick the boot2 upgrade from any OS upgrade >= 1.4 that contains it and thereby save more than 1 MB;
* if you want to run some OS >= 1.4 but don't care about the samples, you can kick them out too.
