Thanks, the links were so useful. For checking the checksums I found 
this sentence in the guiding link :
"You can calculate the checksums key by type sha1sum*.iso on the 
command prompt ."
what does it mean by "command prompt"? If it implies MS-DOS prompt,
then I can't find any MS-DOS window in windows XP.
