I wouldn't vote for it, but there is a change that WISP-Dist might work, as it doesn't hold any filesystems in RAM, except for /tmp which takes up to 256 kb RAM, but shouldn't take anything when it is empty. Chances to get it working increase if you enable swap and disable some daemons (like syslog, watchdog, sshd).
