Well, my thought is that somewhere the data stream conflumagated.  I just 
crossed my fingers and went on with the 4 discs that were good.  Installation 
started right up, and the first 4 discs loaded.  Then it wanted the disc 5.  
so I am stuck, kind of.  I either find a working disc 5 to complete the 
upgrade, or dump the install -- lossing the chance to test the upgrade path.  
I am planning a clean install after this test, anyway.

OK, a quasi-local mirror just provided an image that checksummed.  I will 
write/read-back and then finish up the install.  

Thanks for the timely, helpful replies.
