Well, did you download individual files and directories, or did you
donwload a few (3-4) '*.iso' image files?

This sounds like my guess was probably right.

You should probably go back and get the ISO images and burn them to CD's
if that was your intention.

Otherwise (and assuming you really have all the files), you'll have to
split 'em up onto multiple CDs, and you will be committed to the
installation before you discover if you made a mistake and put some vital
piece on the wrong CD.

If you just planned on doing an update from the files on your HDD, ingore
what I said, cross your fingers, hold your breath, close your eyes, and
... go back anyway and get those CD images while you still have a working
7.0 setup to use.
