According to http://fedora.redhat.com/download :
After downloading the ISO images, check the SHA1 checksums for the ISO
images to ensure that your download was successful. Do this by running
the sha1sum program from a shell prompt against your ISO images and
comparing the values returned against the ones published by Red Hat. The
file from Red Hat containing the official sha1sum values is called
SHA1SUM and is located in the same directory as the ISO images on the
FTP site.
The following illustrates the correct syntax for the sha1sum command:
sha1sum <isofilename>
In the above command, replace <isofilename> with the correct file name.
If the SHA1 sums match, burn the ISO images to CD-Rs or CD-RWs. Note:
writing the ISOs to CD requires a program such as cdrecord. If you want
to perform a hard drive installation instead, copy the ISO image files
to a location on the hard drive that will not be reformated for Fedora
Core.
