	Don't count on 'file' giving you the info you are looking for 
	in this context .  Try doing a 'file 'redhat-sparc.iso image
	on an ix86 system .  then attempt to 'file 'redhat-alpha.iso
	to see what it gives you this time .  I'll waiger they'll each
	be differant .  When on my sparc-rh6.1 .  I get for each type : 

	$ file rh61alpha/redhat-6_1-alpha.iso
	rh61alpha/redhat-6_1-alpha.iso: data

	$ file rh61sparc/sparc-6_1.iso
	rh61sparc/sparc-6_1.iso: Sun disk label 'SPARC bootable
	CD-ROM: Red Hat Linux/sparc 6.1' 0 blocks, boot block present

	$ file rh61x86/redhat-6_1-i386.iso
	rh61x86/redhat-6_1-i386.iso: ASCII text
