The linux kernel has PLIP (parallel line ip) which can do this once you get a base system installed... look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation or in the /usr/doc/HOWTO/PLIP-HOWTO (names may be garbled)... you need a laplink cable and possibly a version 2 kernel on both ends. This will provide an IP connection I believe ... you could then NFS mount or FTP the stuff across. If you NFS mount you can just install from those directories... *warning* but I haven't tried any of these things.
