If you have the dist-031 bzipped file on expansion you find a bunch of 
stuff including at least three ISO images; one is 0.3.1.iso and that is 
the install image. The other two are really small, called something like 
riva-boot and vesa-boot.

Save your major configuration files in /etc/ to a safe place, /home 
likewise. Then install dist-031. Try it, you'll like it.

Failing that, burn the small riva image to a CDRW and away you go.
