Is there a way I can share a disk image as a remote DVD drive?

I would like to upgrade one of my laptops to Snow Leopard but the DVD drive doesn't work.

So can I share a disk image to use it with Remote Mac OS X Install tool?

Sure - all macs support network boot. You might look at Deploy Studio for help in setting up a server that can network boot images stored on the remote machine. Borrowing a USB drive or another mac in target mode with a working DVD might be faster - but with a little set up - network booting is very doable.

If you can manage a cheap 8GB USB flash drive, try read these links
