Installing Etch onto a laptop w/out CD device

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Good day

I have an old-ish laptop with a dodgy CD-device, onto which I want to 
install Etch. I am using Etch on my desktop and the laptop is connected 
to the same LAN that my desktop is on. Is there anyway that I can 
exploit this arrangement to enable me to install onto the laptop?

Thanks for any guidance
