    Yes,

    1. If you can set BIOS to boot from an USB device get a USB cdrom drive

    2. Get an adapter for a 2.5" Laptop harddrive and mount it the drive in a
    desktop system, install linux, and put the harddrive back in the notebook.

    I have tried method #2 on my aging Thinkpad and it worked well, #1 is
    easier but a bit more expensive for a USB CDROM.
