You can do it. See:
http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/linux/looproot.html#toc4
With 2.0 I have not found a way to trick the install program into
installing in a mounted loopback device. So you need to transfer a
rather huge file from you linux box now...
(I heard it is possible with the Debian 1.3.1 install program --- I
haven't tried yet).

Easiest permanent solution is to buy two cheap ne2000 compatibles
(around US$ 20 each here in Germany) and some cable.
