I've never even seen a nokia (my cell phone weighs about 5#)

To be sure I understand: your Etch laptop had its hard drive crash after an update and your old hard drive has Sarge on it and you can't install Etch or Lenny on it since your laptop doesn't have a CD or floppy and without Etch or Lenny you don't have internet since Sarge can't see your cellphone.

And you have no backups.

Questions:

Do you have Etch install media (e.g. CD) and do you have access to a computer with a CD and a USB (and a USB stick)? You could make a USB-stick install to run on your laptop.
