You don't need to burn CDs - just download the helium tree using
rsync or wget from a mirror (1GB) to a 1GB Ext2 partition on your HD
then dd the /images/hd.image to a floppy and install from the hard
disk.
Don't attempt to upgrade your 6.1 in situ - it is only just recently
operational (ie too risky) and will take about 12 hours.
Far better to make another ext2 partition (1 GB) with Partition Magic
and make a fresh install of 7.1 there. Both Linuxes can share the
same swap partition. Then set up Boot Magic to choose which to
boot.
Then you can move across your stuff from your mounted 6.1 partition
ad hoc as you discover you need it. For 7.2 reformat and reuse what
is now your 6.1 partition.
