Theoretically, you could, just loopback mount it on a mount point that
is mounted on a RAM disk. But you'd need a CD's worth of RAM to do it,
so that's somewhat impractical, and not really necessary.

But as a corrolary, have people tried installing from an ISO image 
via loopback mount? That would make it kinda cool since not everyone
has cd writers, and an iso image is probably more efficient than a
directory full of RPMS.
