I noticed this too when I downloaded the images so I could start on the 
rpm failure thing.
I believe it to be some kind of funky horn dog encryption bullsh!t that 
has not been fully
implimented as of yet... Thats the reason for the file system check for 
each CD. They wanna
know if how often it hoarks the iso image (In fact, a lot of people are 
having problems with
RH R8iso images ). My bet is that in the future, they are gonna use it 
to force registration.

I think Kurt had it right. Dump RH for a better distro. Or as my newphew 
would say:

RedHat blows.............
