   Since I am not one of the fortunate owners of a 3000 (yet!), I am not
currently able to enjoy to pleasures of 2.0, por so I thought.  A developer
friend of mine loaned me his developer's version of 2.0.  It has Kickstart
in a 512K file on a disk.  Apparently a program included, called KickIt,
reads this file, puts it in RAM and boots the system with it.  Here is the
problem.  When running KickIt, the program says I need 524,000+ (512K) bytes
of continuous memory.  It seems to believe cries that I don't have this. I
am running a 500 with 1 MEG of memory.  I find it hard to believe that after
a warm boot, I don't have that much continous memory.  Does anyone know
what could be going on here and how to fix it?  Is it due to the CHIP/FAST
RAM differentiation made my the OS?  Help...I wanna see 2.0!!!
