In DOS days I wrote such a thing. It would boot into DOS and then select
based on the contents of a file whether to stay in DOS, go on to windows

Memory-usage in a modern OS is complicated, as many people on this list have

Is it possible to achieve the same effect of PXE boot (i.e. pull everything
over the net, at most use a file on the local FAT32 disk for swap) using
