I used the program shasum with the checksum file for F11 I downloaded. In a directory with both the Fedora iso file and the iso's checksum-file present, run the command: shasum -c checksum-file This will read the list of checksums in the file, and look for the files that generated those checksums in the present directory. It will then run the same check on them that the checksum was generated with in the file. It will compare the two checksums and tell you if they are the same.
