md5sum shrike-i386-disc2.iso
where "shirke-i386-disc2.iso" is the name of the file that you want to find the MD5 checksum of. If you're having difficulty doing this you need to find someone close to you who can help -- I'm afraid this is a bit to basic to be able to help much in a mail message.

I have looked at the file size and it is ok. I dont understand the way of checking md5sum would you mind telling me the "step by step guide"....I feel stupid to ask for this but according to guide on REDhat website i should run md5sum from command line ...if I do this in windows it doesnt do anything. Now you are telling me that it should run under linux or cqwin utility? what I did initially was I went to directory with al my iso files and through win cmd line I typed md5sum (and the file namme of the image) ....but this doesnt do anything

It's going to be much easier to check the ISO image first:
md5sum shrike-i386-disc2.iso
(or whatever it's called). The MD5 checksums for the CDs are:
400c7fb292c73b793fb722532abd09ad shrike-i386-disc1.iso 6b8ba42f56b397d536826c78c9679c0a shrike-i386-disc2.iso af38ac4316ba20df2dec5f990913396d shrike-i386-disc3.iso 0727c51ab359dafa9ab31e0c50958aa6 shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso 2ddd8e6a8502869cd2e78d47590b9be1 shrike-SRPMS-disc2.iso f378cf68b22c3b9a64c86b5067511630 shrike-SRPMS-disc3.iso
(the MD5SUM file in the download area contains this lot). You can check all of the images in one go by doing:
md5sum --check MD5SUM
Of course, to do all this one needs a Linux box. Or you can download and install "cygwin" (you can get that from www.redhat.com as well -- just search for "cygwin"). If you can't check checksums for some reason then just look at the file sizes -- corruption normally comes from truncated files rather than actually damaged ones.
