I'm confused...
I found the following on the RedHat site at:
http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html

"After downloading the ISO images, you can look at Red Hat's MD5 checksums
for the ISO images to ensure that your download was successful. Do this by
running the md5sum program from a shell prompt against your ISO images and
comparing the values returned against the ones published by Red Hat. The
file from Red Hat containing the official md5sum values is called MD5SUM and
is located in the same directory as the ISO images on the FTP site.

Here is the correct syntax for the md5sum command:

md5sum <isofilename>

You will need to replace <isofilename> with the correct file name."

-------------AND ------------

All Red Hat ISO images now have an md5sum embedded in them. It is strongly
recommended you verify the md5sum on any Red Hat Linux CD-ROMs you create
using downloaded ISO images. This will ensure that the disk was burned
correctly and prevent installation failures related to bad media.

To test the checksum integrity of the installation CD-ROMs, type the
following at the installation boot prompt.:

linux mediacheck

The installation program will prompt you to insert a CD-ROM and select OK to
perform the checksum operation.

This checksum operation can be performed on any Red Hat Linux 7.3 CD-ROM in
any order.

After verifying your installation media, follow the instructions in the
Official Red Hat Linux 7.3 Installation Guide to boot and run the
installation program.

***********  THE CHECKSUMS are on the mirror sites as well for the ISO
images at least.

Also, since the Red Hat FTP site can experience extremely high-volume, you
may have better success using a mirror site, located at
http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html.

Hope this helps.
