Sorry for the newbie question , could not find it in your faq or handbook.

Is it possible to embed the os and a few applications in flash memory on  a
pc containing some ram (say 8 meg) . Such a computer would be dedicated to
one task only and would  require no hard disk or floppy ,keyboard , nor
display  card . Only high speed serial io and ethernet port would be
needed. I imagine the flash memory containing the os and applications would
have to be put on a pci card . 

Can you give references if any commercial hardware is available and what
tools to use to embed only the essential parts of the os into flash . 

Thanks for your info
