Well yes, but that don't help him any...
What you need is to re-install 6.1, do a dump, then upgrade. As you
know this then I take it that the real problem is that you no longer
have a copy of the souce.
For the souce maybe one of the developers can make a tar ball of 6.1
from CVS for you, or maybe you can get it from CVS yourself anonymously,
I'm not sure.
