Unless the Redhat installer does something special during the system
upgrade, you should be able to just install the new packages over your
current installation.  

1. Download the new distro or get the new CDs
2. rpm --freshen -vh /path/to/redhat/7.2/RPMS/*

I haven't needed to upgrade a RedHat system in quite some time (I'm a
Debian user), so I don't know if this really works.  In theory, it
should.  As always, backup your system before performing any upgrades.
