If you have enough disk space, you can download the iso's and then mount
them with loopback as a iso9660 volume, and then copy the data to some
HDD on which you want to install this LM8 beta. Then create boot
floppies from the images directory and use that boot floppies to do a
HDD install.
I doubt if you can use LM 7.1 floppy to boot though.
