	Not only possible, but a very common setup for some places.

	In fact, in some places I've installed Linux, this was one of
	the ``almost diskless'' setups employed. The others were that
	people actually used a floppy disk to hold a very basic system
	for 386s running telnet/ssh to bigger servers (thus with no
	need for swaps).
