PROBLEM UPGRADING FROM FC2 TO FC6

[Janina Sajka]

It's not reasonable to expect to upgrade from FC2 all the way to FC6.
Too much has changed inbetween. Better to reinstall.

I checked the downloaded images using sha1sum, checked each CD with sha1sum after burning it, and checked them all again via the process at the beginning of the installation.  They passed.  But after the thing checked dependencies and apparently began the install/upgrade, I got the following message:
