  Will Release 2.0 of the system software run on an older cube
with a 68030 processor (like the ones that BusinessLand is
currently dumping for really great prices!!)?  I also heard that
rel. 2.0 also takes up about 275 MB.  I saw a system upgrade is
available on Optical disk, but would the new release fit on
an optical disk (256MB)?

  Basically, I'd just like to grab an older cube with Optical disk
(about $2800 from BusinessLand's current firesale) and install
rel. 2.0 on the optical disk.  Is this feasible?  The discussion
running lately has started to sound like you won't be able to get
any of the programming stuff unless you have about 340MB of disk space.
