The only thing I can think of, if if the other machine shares the
CD-ROM drive, then ofcourse. But I bet you are asking for like if you
want to play a game. I would still say yes. After you have installed
the game from the other computer onto yours via the network, the ICON
paths the game would create, should point back to the path from which
it was installed. All you have to do is share the CD-ROM. Then MAP a
new network drive to the share on the machine that does not have a
CD-ROM. Hell even map it the "D" drive...
