Yes, of course.  The basic idea would be that you install the machine
using this basic sequence:

1. Boot
2. Select local or remote install.
2a. Remote install:  Specify machine's IP configuration and bring up
    on the net.
2b. Local install:  Ask for second disk containing lynx.
3. "server" is now spawned and running.
4. Using whichever browser you've selected, go through the menus and
   install the system.
