Newbie's problems

["Carlos Kosloff" <ckosloff hotmail com>]

Hello,

I want to install and learn Red Hat 9.
I downloaded the 3 shrike iso images from the Red Hat site: the first one 
seemed to work fine and I burnt it to CD without problems. I used Easy CD 
Creator 5 Platinum with the latest update, then went to Data CD --> File --> 
Make CD from image.
Windows sees the CD but then I booted from it and did a linux mediacheck 
with result fail, I also tried to burn the 2nd. image to CD but got two 
failed attempts from Easy CD. So far 3 wasted CDs.
Then I tried to make a boot diskette but the bootdisk.img file is too big 
for a diskette, it has 1.4 MB and my diskette takes only 1.38. I want to to 
check the images with the md5sum command but don't know how to do this.
I downloaded the images to a folder in a FAT 32 partition.
I don't just want to order the CDs, because it should work by downloading 
and burning them.
Also, I tried to download via FTP but can't get to the FTP site, I am just 
copying the address from the Red Hat site and pasting into WS FTP LE usern: 
anonymous, pass: my e-mail but no use, the connection keeps failing.
Please help, thanks.
