By empty battery, do you mean it will just take so long to boot that the battery will be dead by then or do you mean that it will just empty the battery in a few minutes/seconds? The latter would be kinda scary >.<

No, even overclocked it needs almost no power.
It went from 75% down to 50%, running ~3 hours. Backlight stayed on the whole time

You NEED an external hub to connect to something other than a single USB-Stick.
To get Internet, do you have any USB-Device that could be useful? Fritz!BOX, USB-Ethernet-Adapter from Wii, WLAN Stick?
I don't think Bluetooth will work, first USB 2.0 has to be working

yeah i have a hub and the ti nspire loads the rootfs from the usb everything fine, but i mean when i connect a wifidongle + the usb that has the rootfs it shows errors right and tangrs said it was better to have an external powered hub so the question should be more like.... how can i connect both? or how can i connect a wireless hub, when you connected the fritz, did you have the usb too?

Yes, I'm using four devices right now(stick, mouse, keyboad, fritzbox).
AFAIK the nspire only supports 6 max. (incl. hub) so only one more is possible.

I hate Ubuntu, but it's the best Distro to begin with
I would say Mint is even better to start with. I started with Arch Linux though, so I don't know if my opinion of what would be better for beginners really counts :P

Hi, I've been thinking and I hope this isn't too stupid but wouldn't it be possible to use an Android device instead of all that separate hardware? Advantages:
- if someone gets it to work it will work for everyone else because the OS is the same
- the Android phone has a battery so no need for a powered USB hub
- it can connect to the internet via mobile data/wi-fi and tether it to the calculator
- it can have a virtual keyboard/mouse and store data just like a USB flashdrive.

Maybe it's not possible but just giving an idea.

I wonder if Nspire Linux USB would run on USB1.1 since I know some people still has that?

Isn't the Android Device more expensive than "all of that separate hardware" ?
Moreover, connecting an Android to the calc is not really expanding the calc's capability. I mean, once you have an Android device, all you have to do is run Linux on it and only use the calc as a screen, and that is not really a calc challenge.
And I also guess that nobody would use it since once you have an android device, you don't really need your calc to run Linux to go to the Internet ;)

So really, no, I think the project is great as it is, with "all of that separate hardware" :)
