Yes, but how do you plan to actually do it? Do you intend to write your own installation program from scratch?  What makes a minimal installation capable of performing a net install?

I do, but you don't seem interested. If you want to perform an installation, boot the installer.  If you want to install using an alternative boot option instead of with removable media, do a medialess installation. There are instructions and examples in the installation guide.
