I'm sure there is but I haven't done that myself so I'm not sure of the
details. I have an older box that I recently installed etch on. Much like you
I had a dodgy CD drive (since replaced) that just wouldn't boot. I got the
install floppy images (boot, root and two network card driver disks) and
installed with that. If that laptop has a floppy drive you could do it that
way.
It was just like old times.. :)
