You're quite welcome. I wish we had better answers to give you.

I think that what is needed is a Windows tool that we can recommend
for Windows users which can verify SHA-256 hashes. I don't think
there are any currently. Until that happens, there isn't a very good
way to fix that documentation. If a good sha256sum for Windows isn't
built or located soon, the documentation should probably be modified
to note that it is not applicable to Fedora 11.

It also works reasonably well from a usb key. The Live USB Creator
tool can take the .iso image you have and put it on a usb key that you
can boot many modern systems with.

That tool works well from Windows too.

The Fedora Installation Guide says between 3 and 5 GB is sufficient.
I've not done any complete installs to test that, as there are far
more packages in Fedora than I am able or interested in using.
I tend to give myself 10 GB for the / partition, which accounts for
the packages installed as well as various cache data that is created.
But if you can, try making a live usb key. That's a pretty handy way
to poke around.
