Thanks! I believe you can still try to install from a hard disk that 
contains the ISO files for CD version or just the DVD.iso for the DVD 
version. Maybe something was not right with the transfer of the data to 
the hard disk.
  I did this before with the multiple CDs and it worked out fine. Since 
you copied from hard disk, I was not sure which method you used.

I tried an upgrade of FC6T2 on both an 865G and one with an Intel 915 
from the created DVD. Neither computer (both Dells) had any problems 
after the upgrades. (both FC5 installs)
