Since nobody said how you can verify your iso images, I'll give an
answer you may find unsatisfactory.
If your md5sums differ from the ones given on the redhat site, that
means the isos differ from the ones given on the redhat site. Maybe
the difference is irrelevant, maybe it is vital.
You can separately check the md5sums of all the rpms in your images.
For example, to verify the rpms in the iso images, make directories
called, say, image1, image2, image3. Then mount the three iso's with
mountpoints on the directories. For example,
mount -o loop shrike-i386-disc1.iso image1
Then check all the .rpm files in the images with, say,
find ./image* -name "*.rpm" -exec rpm -K {} \;
If you're running, say, RH7.2, I assume you have the RedHat public key in
your gpg public ring. If not, use "... -exec rpm -K --nogpg ...".
If you're running RH9, I assume you imported the key with rpm. If you
haven't imported the key I think you can avoid complaints about gpg by
using "...-exec rpm -K --nosignature ...".
