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

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?
The live CDs are also installable. Just stick it in, boot to it. If it comes
up OK you will find a "install to harddrive" icon on the desktop. Just run
this.
It runs anaconda so you should have the full range of upgrade/install options
as a normal install (not 100% sure on this though, when I did it I did a
fresh install and didn't look to see if there was an upgrade option ?)
As there is only one CD there is of course a reduced set of packages
available - But assuming your system has network they are all but a yum
install away, so no big deal.
If you are trying to install to a box with no network or DVD drive, well you
might have problems and have to try some of the clever work arounds suggested
on this list...

I downloaded and tried the Live disc the other day; how necessary is it
to have a gig of ram for the install? Most of the machines here are
PIII's and the ram max on some are at 700+mb.
