I agree, and if Harry had criticised the CDs then I would have refuted that. 
But, looking at Harry's problems, none of them were caused by the 
installation CD which (by luck more than anything) appeared to work 
perfectly. So, I don't think it is far to complain he used unofficial, 
unreleased CDs.

Had he attempted to instal stable and then upgrade, what would have happened 
differently?
