Thanks.  I tried this, but got the following errors:

ggpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
Release signature does not verify.
Errors:
 Release signature does not verify.
Failed to download some Release or Release.gpg files!
WARNING: releasing 1 pending lock...pg: Can't check signature: public
key not found Release signature does not verify.
Errors:

Failed to download some Release or Release.gpg files!
WARNING: releasing 1 pending lock...

[later] Okay, I added --ignore-release-gpg to the command, and it's
working now.  Once I get the files, and burn 'em to CD, will there be an
issue with keys or ID when I try to add the CD to my sources.list via
apt-cdrom add?
