I'm posting this topic both at Cemetech and Omnimaga, because there are members of either site that don't go to the other very often.

I've been looking at Linux for the Nspire, and I am wondering about taking the project further. Specifically, I have a couple questions.

Why can't an external storage device be used as the entire filesystem, including the boot code, like it was done on the Wii?

What would it take to implement USB storage so one could theoretically install more drivers and upgrade to have Linux as a completely usable OS rather than a "thought"?
