Twin take off on one engine?

I couldn't find anything I thought was reliable--some claims and counterclaims on groups or forums like this. What is clear is that the 747 can and has done lots of ferry flights with one of the four engines inoperative. If you're already up in the air with decent altitude and a light payload, one engine might keep you in the air. My personal bet is that one engine won't do for liftoff. Two would probably be OK. Three--people have done it, so there's no doubt about it.
