Vern,
A tip which will help some is to split out your /home directory in
your 6.1 to a new partition. Then do a fresh install of 7.0-2 and
make sure everything is working (DrakX forgets some RPMs).
Then manually mount your home partition to /home to restore your user
customisations and data from 6.1 into 7.0-2. If that's good, then
put the /home mount in your fstab after deleting everything under the
/home directory in 7.0-2 to release the 'dead' space.
That gets most of the install-over functionality, but you will have
to reinstall any applications you installed on 6.1 on 7.0-2 to
complete the process. These reinstalls should preserve all the user
data and configurations.
