There are various approaches to this, most of them involve ramdisks. Too
tired right now
If it meight work, try it, if it doesn't work, there is no harm :)

Definitely.
However, you need to keep in mind that "enough" has a very stretchable
meaning. A simple router, just network drivers, fullblown tcpip
functionality and a complicated routing table meight not be very happy with
just 16mb anymore; things _will_ get nasty once you run OOM (wich is,
without a swap functionality, pretty soon) so play safe!
