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.
