Basically, you boot off the update CD.  When the
installer comes
up, select the last option, "Upgrade an existing
installation"
and have at it.

I *think* that's the nut of the problem.
The installer from the 7.0 release booted up fine
and the software installed.
The update disk didn't boot. I put the CD in,
it whirred a bit and then stopped. No reaction,
Lights out, EOT. 
Perhaps some direction as to how to make it self
boot would help.
