    if the AAO is on a LAN, and another machine on the same LAN has an optical drive, just share the optical drive and connect to it via the AAO. you can then install whatever you want from the shared drive... really like a Mac, isnt it just... amazing? :roll:

    You could also make an ISO or DMG of the disk on one system, then copy it over to the AA1 via network sharing.
