That brings up another question.  I currently have an 800K disk with a
Finder (Minifinder, actually), a System 6.0.5, HC 1.2.5, the Home stack,
and a Ramdisk program.  When I start up from it, it creates a RamDisk,
copies the stuff exclusive of the RamDisk program to the Ramdisk and
makes the RamDisk my startup disk.  That way, I can run my HC stacks
with no hard disks (useful when I'm traveling).  So my question is: how
much bigger is HC 2.0 than HC 1.2.5?  Do I still have any chance of
being able to do this?  I think I have about 80K free on the startup
disk in my current situation.
