yes. But u would require to do it from source. Which is a very major pain. So unless u are doing 10000++ installs and need to drop ram and flash sizes because of costs, it does not make sense. If u ask me a debian base install followed by cloop compression is good enough and should be able to fit into a 256MB pendrive.
