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.
