Thanks to all those who explained how to proceed, and gave the exact sizes and checksum of the 3 iso images of shrike. Below is what I got on the three CDROMS. Besides thanks, my very last question (mere curiosity actually) is: it seems that I indeed have 3 CDs from original RH isos, but are they the ones in the boxed set, or the ones available today from *public* ftp server at Red Hat?
