Hi Yuri,

I'm not sure that you can get 7.1 directly, you can download 7.0.1 from
<ftp://ftp.info.euro.apple.com/binhex/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/
US/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/>

there is also a directory with a 7.1.x update (I don't know if it updates
to or from 7.1.x though)

<ftp://ftp.info.euro.apple.com/binhex/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/
US/Macintosh/System/Older_System/For_System_7.1.x/>

Have you tried talking to an apple dealer?  They might have some old discs
lying around, and should definitely be able to make you some.  Which model
of macintosh do you need the discs for? I might be able to help you
directly if I have a similar model.

Depending on what you mean by clean install, you might need to re-install
some of your application software as well (or at least replace their
preferences and extensions). I'd recommend backing up your system folder
just in case (minus the system and finder), you should also make a note of
your internet (MacTCP) and other machine-specific settings.

If you are in the US, the ftp server you need is ftp://ftp.info.apple.com ,
and you don't need "/binhex" in the pathname.
