Rats. I misunderstood what you needed. 

The distros are all on my desktop, which I don't normally bring to the
Clinic. So, in anticipation of the Clinic, I decided to check my stack
of distro CDs to make sure I wasn't lying about what I will have with
me. I noticed several missing ones, plus I decided to download Edubuntu
and Xubuntu which apparently weren't available last April when I
downloaded the others. Then I started burning the missing ones. Except
I ran into a problem - the 7.10 versions were all in the same folder
and I kept clicking on the wrong one. Thinking that no one would ever
want those old ones I just deleted them to save space on the disk and
keep me from burning the wrong ones. And now this morning I get your
note that you need one of the old ones. Aaargh.

I'd re-download, but I'm not sure which one you need. You really need
to download from home or something because Free Geek doesn't have
enough bandwidth to get a whole distro in the time we will be there.
