So you're trying to upgrade manually (without booting the 7.1 installer)?
A hard road to take, certainly. Are you sure you wouldn't rather back up
any important data and do a nice clean 7.1 install?
Well, libbz2.so.0 is provided by bzip2-0.9.5d-2.i386.rpm (from the Red Hat
6.2 tree on the ftp site) according to a search at rpmfind.net.
gcc was in those days in the 'egcs' package IIRC.
For iso images, use:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop <filename> /dir
