These 3 iso's are shrike's SRPMs discs. They contain the source rpms of all
the packages included in the distro. Unless you want to compile the packages
from source, you wont need them. Anyways, those sources are outdated now. You
better get fresh source packages or available patches.
Remember that installing the source rpms take up a lot of space.
browsing the CD contents will show you lots of *.src.rpm packages. installing
those rpms with `rpm -Uvh` is enough. They should get installed somewhere
under /usr/src/ (check for a folder named SRPMS).

anyways, thanks
