As I mentioned to Brian, I won't be trying that on this
particular machine.  That said, I'm interested in knowing
what's involved.

For example: is it practical to build an X terminal from a
machine with just read-only media (say a CD-ROM drive)?  How
much of the filesystem could be mounted read-only and what
would need to be copied to a RAM disk?
