Thanks, Brion...
Before running the web installer, I ran "upgrade1_5.php" from the command line in order to do the db schema upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5. I'm guessing it completed since there were no error messages and I have all of the "new" tables in the db. The portion of the script that renames "table_temp" to "table" ran. But tables that have "_old" appended to the name and other tables that are now obsolete, like "user_rights", were not dropped.
I'd just like to confirm that the tables that appear in a clean install of the latest version (1.8.2) are the only tables that need to be in upgraded versions as well. They are:
archive categorylinks externallinks filearchive hitcounter image imagelinks interwiki ipblocks job langlinks logging math objectcache oldimage page pagelinks querycache querycache_info recentchanges revision searchindex site_stats templatelinks text trackbacks transcache user user_groups user_newtalk watchlist
Thanks much,

Correct*.
* with possible exception if you used a non-standard option during the install to avoid copying data out of the cur table, in which case the text table would include some entries refering to the cur table and it would need to be kept. Normally this would not be the case, and the cur table can be removed.
