What you describe here is possible as others pointed out. Just avoid
desktop install and stay with small base system with vim, mc, ...

But what the title of mail say "no x", that is difficult. There will be
some X client libraries: libx11-6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxext6, libxmu6,
libxpm4, libxt6 which are small and OK to have. The manpages (man-db)
require groff and groff require these.
