So is there a practical way to back up 100 GB of data given a single slow 
CD-R burner and no network?

1: it's hosed. give up, reinstall. 
 
2: upgrading between distrobutions is pretty much impossible, not to 
mention very likely to break everything. 
 
3: when doing major changes like this, you're best off starting over. 
 
 
 
more advice: 
 
back up your data before putting it at risk. 
 
rebuilds are faster than recoveries, 8 out of 10 times. 
 
once you've chosen a distribution of linux, stick with it.
