I see this all the time.  Why is it that the installer doesn't allow you
to retry a package ... and instead errors out and dies...

I actually tested my media and I still had the problem at some point in
my installation.

Bottom line though it shouldn't just die.  Give a chance to retry,
abort, or ignore...and continue giving that chance until the USER
decides to abort.

Maybe I have 3 or for disks...1 may go bad but I have more.  I can burn
new ones in a couple of minutes...etc.
