The best approach for checking burned CDs, which is what Red Hat used, is
implanting a MD5 checksum to it by implantisomd5, and verify later with
checkisomd5.
So the CD itself and checkisomd is all you need to verify it, even after
several years, and you've forgot where you put its original md5sum. The
implantisomd5 and checkisomd5 are available in Debian (later) as the
isomd5sum package.
