Help!!! my box has had a stroke

Fortunately it still works for e-mail, but I have a fair amount of critical files, and I can't use Konquerer to shuffle them off to disk.

Shy of kissing everything goodbye and re-installing -- is there anyone who could help me either re-install KDE or extract the files to a CD or two, so I can continue? It would be easier if I could bring things in; my house is crammed and I can barely navigate as it is.

FYI system here is SuSE 7.2 and I have the CD's. I'm wondering if I could configure the ethernet card and simply transfer files that way, burn CD's and then go on from there??? It took a power bump just one too many times and fsck just ate up the inodes.
