   You would need to use RAD: or RAM: to expand the rest of the OS too,   
   like QNX does IIRC, the same for DOS & dos based browsers, i know,   
   because i've done these things for my work (got a bootcd that boots in   
   DOS, but has access to ftp & www aswell as networkshares, oh, and it   
   reads NTFS too (Read Only tho, for some reason the write enabled ntfsdos   
     kept crashing)   
      
   There are afew decent resources available on the 'net for this
