What I would like to see to combat the 2-disk-boot-1000 and
must-buy-new-1.3-ROM-500 is battery backed-up RAM.  KS is
booted from disk into battery backed-up RAM chips.  Which
ever version is current is stored there throughout every
coldstart.  When a new version of KS comes out you boot with
it (ONCE) and that becomes your new operating system.  The
speed and convience of a ROM boot with the ease of disk-
based updates.  Has anyone seen such a animal?  Is this
possible?
