I tested it and it saves more than "zero" memory (at minimum 3 MiB),
here is how I did it:
1. Figure out how much your computer (when booting off of a liveUSB
in my case) needs to boot, open a terminal, and run free -m with using
almost no swap.
[make sure the computer has a swap partition, or else this won't
work]
Do this by booting the kernel with different mem=???M options. And try
getting swap close to zero (see it with free -m), but still in positive
territory by a few. Mine was mem=450M, and swap used was 3 M
2. Then make your changes, in my case rm /etc/init/tty[2-6]
3. Reboot with the same kernel option (mem=450M), run the terminal, run free
-m and rejoice in the lack of swap used.
