Because of the number of problems associated with corrupted files being
downloaded, Red Hat has removed that option from the installer. It is now
required that you use ISO files. The integrity of the ISOs can be
verified using md5sums which are published for all RH ISO files. This
eliminates problems for the customer-support/mailing-list since we just
ask "Have you checked the md5sums of your ISO files?"
