Not sure if this a trick question?
If you are asking minimum requirements in terms of:
Computer/Processor 133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU.
Memory At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM; more memory generally
improves responsiveness.
Hard Disk 2 GB with 650 MB free space.
CPU Support Windows 2000 Professional supports single and dual CPU
systems.
Drive CD-ROM or DVD drive.
Display VGA or higher resolution monitor.
Keyboard Required.

Then yes, this is the lowest recomended amount of resources needed to run
windows 2000 Professional
If you mean only installing files that are critical to the operation of
ntoskrnl.exe during installation. Then no, it is not possible.
