Do you have another Unix/Linux system available to check the burned CD?

If so, you can do this to check disk1:
   dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=331036 | md5sum -
and disk 2:
   dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=326870 | md5sum -

The results should agree with the published MD5 sums:
efab549656a1a85ab8fa39eb873eff0e  enigma-SRPMS-disc1.iso
70703897af7703b40e41777a3aa186c3  enigma-SRPMS-disc2.iso
cf7bce0c1cdbfedfae29e60aef202f6f  enigma-i386-disc1.iso
fd705b3e5d0e37a828db35d21195a9f6  enigma-i386-disc2.iso
a8c48cfc9cf664f06d96823acd24fd7d  enigma-docs.iso

If these checksums come out wrong, but the checksums of the .iso
files are correct, there's something wrong with your burning process.
