Your first CD is missing about half of the data.

Here are my results and all md5sum checks passed.

729,452,544 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso
708,636,672 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD2.iso
731,060,224 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD3.iso
701,726,720 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD4.iso
713,834,496 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD5.iso

To run md5sum you run it against each file or against the md5sum file.

Command to run

md5sum SUSE*CD1.iso  or md5sum SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso

Results

5842cee531462cabd495b1b9939965d4 *SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso

Or 

Command to run

md5sum -c suse_9.3.md5sum

Results

SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso: OK
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD2.iso: OK
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD3.iso: OK
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD4.iso: OK
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD5.iso: OK

There are also GUI programs to check the md5sum of a file.
One is Hasher at www.karenware.com with source.
It does require the VB 6 Runtime to be installed which is available as a
download from here site with each application also.

I'm trying to check the SUSE 9.3 iso's that I've
downloaded.

I went to the 

http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/md5.php

website to see how to work with the md5sum program.

I get that the downloads failed.  I'm not sure I did
things correct though.

Here is exactly what I did:

1.) Downloaded the files to a directory on the D:
drive of a Windoze XP machine (faster pipe and more
free space).

2.)  Downloaded the md5sum.exe file and placed it in
the same directory as the files.

3.)  Went to START >> RUN and entered CMD to get a
command prompt.

4.)  cd D

5.)  cd "SUSE 9.3"

6.) md5sum -c SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso

even tried
6.) md5sum -c SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso.zip
6.) md5sum -c SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso.zip.md5


The files sizes I have for the CDs are:

SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso   354,644 KB  
WinRAR archive
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD2.iso   692,028 KB  
WinRAR archive
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD3.iso   713,926 KB  
WinRAR archive
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD4.iso   685,280 KB  
WinRAR archive
SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD5.iso   697,104 KB  
WinRAR archive

Help appreciated.
