Hi,

Well actually Kickwork starts without kickstart.

@fishy_fiz,

Kick start is a program which speaks to the bare minimum hardware in order to load your program, like workbench or games. All it does is give instructions to your hardware so it knows what to do.

@ fishy_fiz,

Actually none.

No software works without kickstart, the older Amiga's had kickstart on disk, but the newer ones have them embedded in ROM which when the computer is turned on issues instructions to the bare minimum hardware in order to start. It is sort of like a BIOS in a PC computer.
