The discussion we were having has little to do with upgrading via sysinstall. Your CD's should work just as you expect. The upgrade issue we were discussing has to do with upgrading from source, not upgrading with the sysinstall utility. As I understand it, sysinstall downloads pre-built binaries from the CD or via FTP and uses them to upgrade the system. Good luck.
