This all sounds rather exciting!
However, I have some questions:

1. Am I correct in saying that this does not work on the FMR yet?
2. What benefit will this have? I assume battery time, but it doesn't seem like a great saving to me. Has anyone
performed any calculations that might determine the possible battery time increases?
3. Currently, it is a safe operation to reflash from the UCL file as there is a backup of the original Archos OS
in the Rom as well. Will this run-from-flash remove the original OS, therefore making the opertaion of reflashing more risky?

I flashed the first version and got no problems at all, with this

new version I get at whopping 3K more (1.786MB before, now it say's

1.789MB; per dir setting is 400, maximum playlist 5000).

Haven't had any problems yet.
