Upgrading Fedora 5 to Fedora 7 question

I apologize if this is a dumb FAQ. If so, could someone please just point me
to the place where I can find the answer.
I have the following situation: Fedora 5 installed on an old PC with a CD
drive and no DVD drive, connected to Windows PC with DVD and dial-up (slow)
network connection. In hand, Fedora 7 install DVD. The contents of the
Fedora 7 DVD (files and directory) have been copied from Windows PC to
/Fedora_7 on Linux PC.
What is the simplest way to upgrade this Linux PC to Fedora 7? I've
considered yanking the DVD drive from the Windows PC and installing it in
the Linux PC. I'd rather not redownload the unofficial CD distribution of
Fedora 7 just because of the time involved. I think that there must be some
way to tell yum to look in the /Fedora_7 directory and go from there but I
can't figure out how to do it.
For some reason the Add/Remove Software tool on the Linux PC errors off when
it can't find anything installed.
Thanks!
