7.3 was never released for Linux - 8.0 was.

And do *not* attempt this: the import and export views, used internally by Oracle have changed, sometimes even within minor upgrades (3rd digit)!
Use the exp that came with 7.3, ftp (binary!) to the new destination, and use imp that came with the destination (10g) software.

And I second the idea of exp/imp for reason mentioned by Matthias
