Description of problem:
I was upgrading my RH 9 install with Core 1. I was on disk 3. The
installer reported some problem with the kernel source package and
said it couldn't continue.

Aaaaaargh! You can't abort once you have changed the disk, not on a
package like that. I could see aborting on really important packages
like the kernel or really important libs such as glibc. In fact, those
should be carefully checked before you even try to upgrade. The kernel
source is a failure the user can recover from easily. 

What should have happened is it should have reported the error, tossed
any packages that were dependant on it, and continued on with the
rest. It was almost done.

A newbie user would be wringing his hands right now, wondering whether
his machine was hosed. (Thankfully, I tried it on a machine I could
afford to hose.)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install or upgrade
2. Have a package that fails due to bad media or some other corruption
3.
    

Actual Results:  Installer aborted with a message regarding a
non-critical package, and rebooted

Expected Results:  Installer should have continued, leaving out bad
package and those packages dependant on it.

Additional info:

In case it's a real corruption in the iso's, failure from the log:
