my guess was that maybe it had difficulty reaching the mirrors and gave up. However, I did learn one useful thing, which is the correct layout for a single-directory that contains the contents of all 5 disks. I didn't have it right before, so I fixed that in the laptop and attempted another install via FTP against my laptop, sadly with similar results as before.
this is making me crazy. If I verified the checksums of the ISOs I downloaded, then I know the data is correct, so why does it think stuff is missing or corrupt?

no, I did notice the 4/5 difference and used the correct url... I took a look with the browser before I entered it into the install process, so I'm at a loss here...
