Yes but not using bash and shared libs like glibc.

i think if use anything staticaly compiled it is posible with tcsh or a
smaller interpreter and try to do cramfs.Otherwise is too small space ....

Eventualy try to take a look of some distro's cd boot and if good enogh for
you try compile it to mips.
