I think it can be done , but that kind of connection is verry verry slowwww.
You might be beter of pulling the cdrom from your other machine and slaving
it to the one you want to install to. Then install the system , copy the
cds if you have room , then put it back.
I have had good luck with the cheap clone ATAPI cdroms , you can get them
as cheap as $40.00 . I have use three diffrent "clone" brands from the
compuor show , and all have worked fine using the standard kernal and
slaving to the hard drive. While your at it you can pick up some used coax
ethernet cards and a cable for 10 MB ethernet real cheap at most of these
shows , just make sure you get one that has jumpers or are of a major
vender so you can download the dos configuration program and configuration
information. then you can just network them together .
good luck
