 downloaded the same thing from the debian.org website (latest version)
 and debian says it's a bad disk, it does all the other 4 fine. Is there a
 bad compile of base 5? Can someone actually answer this question?
 Thanks

My suspicion is that you've had two bad floppies (the Debian install is
very picky about floppies). Try another and even a fourth; use new
high-quality diskettes.

Actually it means you have a bad disk, try another one!
