The checksum command doesn't look right to me. You are comparing the 
checksum you got from the image itself. I believe you need to download a 
CHECKSUM file for your iso and compare with that.

Also you get a OK message says the method you are using is not correct 
as from F11 Fedora project has moved to 256 hashes. So you should be 
using sha256sum.

Look here for details, http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify
