Would using a KVM switch be useful? It would let you split your Keyboard, Video, and Mouse connections (hence "KVM") to two computers, and you can switch between them at will.

Also, what about just temporarily installing a cd-rom for the install process, then once you get it up and running, put it back into the first computer.

I've also messed around with a network install of... I think it was Suse. It was kind of a pain to get working, but I think it worked eventually. So it's definately an option to explore. You'd boot up using they're boot disk, and if your network card and connection is working well, you just provided an address for it to download what's neccessary for the install.
