    On TM800, just create a folder in the root of usb stick called /picon using an ftp client like filezilla. Then ftp picons to the folder, then reboot.

    Thats sounds right, yes. Create a folder in the root of the usb stick called picon, then ftp the picons into that folder. May be best to start a topic in the TM800 discussion section.

    short term nothing but long term not a good idea to do lots of writes to the flash as over time it degrades, perhaps not to the level you might notice in the short term but why take the risk.

    Using Picons does not involve a lot of writing: only when installing/updating them. So no worries there.
    Even after flashing many hundreds of times, including the use of picons, won't wear your flash memory.

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.
