Some of the systems I need to upgrade from FC 5/6 to Fedora 7 do not

KDE and Gnome(?) live ISOs but no full distribution.
If so where are they?
If not how does one go from FC5/6 to Fedora 7 without a DVD drive?

There are no CD iso's available. Full stop. Whoever decided that should
have thought folks with no DVD ROM drives.
Incorrect and misleading. Live CD images are installable. You can do a
network installation from the boot.iso or rescue CD images. You can also
copy the DVD image to a hard disk and install from the boot/rescue CD
image.

I did not mention Live CD images.
Again, you did clearly mention that no CD iso's were available which is
not true.
Previous versions of Fedora were available
as both sets of CD's, along with the option of a DVD. Surely it's not such a
big deal to make sets of CD's available along with a DVD.
Additional variations of any sort in the releases have a cost associated
with it. There is additional testing or mirror space they require for
example. All the mirrors are voluntary and will push back if you
duplicate the same packages in several different formats.
